night nursing a toddler and mc

[ecomama33]

first time mc and on night of day 3. I felt really motivated to do this cleanse even though my 27 mo yr old is still night nursing. I have seen no signs of anything going on with her. I feel great!!!! Although it is hard for the mama to not finish food passed up by her kids...
Anyone have any experience with infrequent nursing and mc???

It is my understanding that one should not nurse while cleansing. The toxins can be passed on out of the body through breast milk. There is a thread at the top w/ a sticky.

I would not feel safe nursing at all while on the cleanse. I would look into it if I were you.

I'm not an expert, just a mom of two prior nurslings offering an opinion. At 27 months, I don't think you'll endanger him/her, but the taste/quality of your milk will almost certainly change and he may not like it. That may lead to self-weaning, so just be aware.

Also, your results from the fast may be more drastic, since your body will be having to produce milk and cleanse on what I assume would be a significantly lower intake than what you are accustomed. You will probably need to drink LOTS of extra water and maybe more lemonade (closer to 12 than 6 glasses) to keep from being hungry.

Pay close attention to your body and your nursling, and if it doesn't feel right then stop. You can always try MC again once she's fully weaned.

Good luck!
