Intro and Nursing Question

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I am new to this group and have been drinking kombucha on and off for about 2

years. It is my favorite drink! I was drinking a commercial brand almost daily

about 1 year ago when I became pregnant with my second child. After doing some

research, I cut way back to only an ounce or two a day (I was drinking up to 2

bottles per day), as many sources said it was not safe. It was the only thing

that helped my nausea! Fast forward to now, I am exclusively nursing my 6 month

old baby girl. I have been lucky enough to cross paths with a kind woman in a

parenting group who is giving away SCOBYs, and I would like to start brewing my

own kombucha.

So my question is regarding safety while nursing, is it okay to drink while

nursing? Should I keep the amount minimal? Do I just need to make sure I drink

plenty of water as well?

Either way I still intend to give brewing my own a shot, if I shouldn't ingest

much of it, I'll use it on my skin or hair. I have been reading threads and it

seems like many of you do this.

Thank you in advance, Kindly,
