Question about herbs

[swissmiss2584]

I can't wait to become an herbalist so I don't have to constantly wonder about the herbs I need to take! Although I'm sure I will learn something new each day even after I become an herbalist. Anyway, I have a UTI and am nursing my 18 month old at least once a day. I need to take a tincture mixture that contains goldenseal and uva ursi along with other herbs. My questions are:

1. How long do herbs stay in breast milk?

2. How much of the herb actually is in breastmilk?

3. At what age can a child start to take goldenseal and uva ursi?

Thanks!

i think herbs would stay in breastmilk like food does, but i dont know how long that is and probably very little as everything that passes through breastmilk is very little-so i've heard...
