Comment by Lucky Penne on June 12, 2008 at 9:05am

Hi, Everyone! RawZi just pointed me to her post about nursing mamas on the "Global 24-Hour Fast" thread in the Main Forum, and I thought others in our circle might want to add their advice and experiences as well. Great to be here!! :D

I'm so excited for the day time in the future that I'm a mom and breastfeeding.

What's up everyone!

We are a vegan family who moved from urban Los Angeles to the sticks of Michigan. We have a three year old daughter and are 10 weeks pregnant with our second child. We have an organic garden and belong to an organic (not certified) CSA. We had a midwife for our first birth and have a great midwife for our second birth.

I do 95% of the food preparing/cooking and since moving to rural Michigan it has been a challenge maintaining our dietary choice. We hardly and I mean hardly ever eat out and when we travel half of our bags are filled with food.

There are a couple of things that this community could help us with:

1. Any suggestions for books/websites related to raw/vegan pregnancy, tandem breastfeeding and raising raw/vegan children.
2. An internet source for raw organic nuts that don’t cost a bazillion dollars.
3. An internet source for organic baby clothes that don’t cost a bazillion dollars
4. Any general advice, recipes and fitness information that you found useful during your pregnancy.

We just joined Raw Pregnancy so some of you might be seeing this post again. Please excuse the duplication.

Thanks for your helping us keep it raw in the country and hope to hear from everyone soon.

im a mother of 3 month old twins but wana go 100% raw. does anyone know is this bad when nursing?

It depends on your current diet. You go through a detox when you change your diet to 100% raw and the toxins can go through to your breastmilk. I have a 4 month old and went 100% raw yesterday, however for me that only meant eliminating eggs, fish, and some sugary items. Just be real careful. If you start getting headaches, runny nose, flu like sympotms that could mean you are detoxing too fast. Maybe start by just drinking a green smoothie every day and then add more raw foods every week. Hope that helps!!

i eat all fruits and vegetables mostly, chicken on salads, and a ground turkey stir fry for dinner and sometimes i will have ezekial bread with raw honey for a snack,. is that ok u think or should i go super slow?

Comment by courtney mathews on June 17, 2009 at 5:17pm

i also drink green smoothies every morning for breakfast

Sounds just like me with the exception of the chick and turkey. I even did ezekiel with raw agave for a snack all the time. I am NOT an expert, but I would start by not eating meat for a while. I eliminated all of my microwave meals about 2 weeks ago and did cooked kasha and quinoa to ease myself in. I am working with a raw food consultant and the advice she gave me is that if I feel any signs of detox I should up my fat intake. This is really not a problem for me because I eat raw granola for breakfast, raw guacamole, etc

We are filming our journey, so I will post the link to our videos once they are live. I would be happy to try and answer any questions you have!
