Re: Kombucha while nursing

[Guest guest]

Ann,

I hope you get a more qualified answer than mine. But kt is a detox so many say

no to pregnant or nursing moms, and depending age of child slow to 1 or 2 oz.

I have heard if you consumed kt before you got pregnant you can drink it

through the pregnantcy but I don't remember what they said about the nursing at

that point. Hope that helps.

Kombucha while nursing

Hi Everyone,

My friend is coming on Monday and she is nursing a newborn.

Is Kombucha safe for a new mom and her nursing baby?

Thanks for your help,

Ann

Hi Ann,

I definitely would not advise a nursing newborn baby to have anything but

breastmilk and maybe boiled water if the baby is very thirsty.

KT should not be introduced until baby has started mixed feeding (in our

case at about year old.)

As long as the nursing Mum drinks plenty of water there is no reason why she

should not try in small quantities some Kombucha. Kombucha is diuretic,

and therefore needs to be supplemented with water, especially when

breastfeeding.

There is no reason to be afraid of Kombucha. It is not a drug, but a

wonderful superfood with many benefits, which may be different from

one person to the next.

If you're offended, there is only one answer: forgive and pray for the offender.

Hi and EveryOne,

IMHO it would not be a good time to introduce your friend to KT for

the first time while she is nursing....sometimes when people first

start to drink KT toxins including heave metals, old drugs, etc. can

be released from the body....while this is a good thing most of the

time it would not be desirable during pregnancy or nursing.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

Dear Bev and ,

Thank you for the drinking kombucha while nursing advice for my friend.

I guess I'll have to have her hold off for a year or two...

I certainly wouldn't want to make her precious baby sick in any way.

I appreciate that you shared your wisdom.

Blessings to you,

Ann

Hi Margaret,

Oh, I would never advise giving anything directly to a newborn, except

mothers milk.

But, thank you for your caution.

Thank you, also, for sharing your experiences with your children and your

personal drinking of Kombucha. It sounds like you had positive experiences.

I'll relay the info to my friend.

Blessings to you,

Ann

It contains some alcohol.

My understanding however is that KT does not contain any more alcohol than

fruit juice.

I would be careful of the mother's die off - i know i had a huge die

off that lasted 3 months - and i am not sure that is good for a

nursing mother - maybe in small doses it will be ok and not cause the

die off that i had - i was chugging the Kombucha and coconut kefir
