To be honest, I am not one to promote juicing while breastfeeding (nursing) or while pregnant.

This can actually lead to a nutritional deficiency in your child.

Studies have found, as an example, women who take vitamin C while pregnant or nursing can actually create a vitamin C deficient child once the nursing stops. Why? Well, the child was used to getting a certain amount of vitamin C while still a fetus and while nursing. But once this all stops, the vitamin C intake drops and now, the body is not getting the vitamin C is what used to getting. This leads to a vitamin C deficiency in your child and then leads to the health problems associated with a vitamin C deficiency. This principle applies to all nutrients, not just vitamin C which was used as an example.

It's for this reason, that if you want to juice while nursing or pregnant, then I would definitely suggest you consult a naturopath to get individualized and customized support. But I suspect you will find that most naturopaths will suggest that you do not juice while breastfeeding or pregnant.

I realize that some infomercials selling juice machines have promoted juicing while pregnant and breastfeeding. This is unfortunate even though their intentions may be truly genuine. But this is also why I am a strong advocate of responsible juicing.

Personally, the best thing to do in my opinion, is to eat a wholesome and healthy diet along with a good prenatal / postnatal supplement. Then once the nursing stops, then start your juicing program.
