Hello,

I'm trying to transition to raw right now and I have a 6 month old that I'm breastfeeding. He only gets 1 solid feeding a day of a (mild) raw fruit or vegetable.

Everything I've read about detox says to take it slow when going raw if you're breastfeeding b/c of the possibility of expelling toxins into breastmilk, etc.. I've been feeling detox symptoms myself - fatigue, rashes, anger and breathlessness. My son has also developed a runny nose and some stuffiness, as well as some crabbiness and a touch of lethargy. He's also itching the side of his face where he used to have eczema. We've got all this and I'm only doing aobut 70% raw (i.e., all raw until dinner and dinner is about half raw). I'm worried about continuing/increasing the raw in my diet right now.

I was wondering if anyone out there has transitioned to raw during breastfeeding and what kinds of experiences they've had? Also, ideas, suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you!
