breastfeeding while detoxing?

Hello! I am trying to switch to a 100% raw diet for the first time ever, but I am a breastfeeding mother. I have heard alot about detoxing, and the sides affects that you get from eating all raw. My question is…has anyone heard anything about the effects that breastfeeding while detoxing can have on my baby? Should i hold off becoming all raw until she is weaned?

I am nursing and recently transitioned to raw. I’m not 100%, but I used the same logic that others suggest. I have had some detoxing symptoms, but have not noticed anything out of the ordinary in my son (22 months). He is, however, making a smoother transition to raw than I ever would have imagined, which I am sure is from my breastfeeding him while raw. I think its a go.
