I just posted this on the breast feeding past a year board. Wondering if juicing while bf'ing a toddler would release toxins into my milk. I nurse my 20 month old nights and weekends so she's not full time nursing. I'm interested in a juice fast and wonder if a lot of toxins would be released into my breast milk.

I don't know if it would release toxins, but I DEFINTELY do not recommend doing this while nursing, because it could significantly reduce your supply. I'd wait until you are done BF'ing.

I would not do a full on juice fast, because yes, it would release toxins in the breastmilk. I WOULD however incorporate juicing into your daily diet. Perhaps 2 juices a day. This will give you minimal cleansing (as will any switch to a healthy diet), mucho nutrition and no harmful effects
