Whole Body Cleanse & BF

[lovebeingamom]

I have heard wonderful things about whole body cleansing ... not sure if safe while BFing. Has anyone done a whole body cleanse while BF? Do you know of any side effects? One of the ingredients is Milk Thistle - is this safe while BF?

I'm sure other people can advise you better, but I don't know if I would. I've done tons of cleansing and I agree that it's great, but birth and even breastfeeding seems like it would be cleansing in itself! Are you wanting to do something in particular? Do you have a knowledgeable practitioner you can consult with? Milk thistle is great for you - but I doubt it would be great for baby. Maybe after you've finished bf-ing.

milk thistle is what some moms take to boost milk supply.
