Morn sickness, milk thistle, & breastfeeding?

[X-posted in I'm Pregnant]

Hi all, I was reading one of the m/s threads and most people were raving about milk thistle. I'm still breastfeeding DD and am about 7 weeks pg, and the last 2 days started feeling nauseous and so am looking for relief early, but haven't seen anyone discuss whether milk thistle is ok during BF. Anyone know?

And for that matter, for anyone who's read the threads about herbal treatment of m/s, is there anything else I should watch while still BF?

I was sick for most of my pg with DD and ended up taking zofran (I came to love that stuff, although I *hated* having to take any medication at all), and I'm hoping to find herbal alternatives this time and try to stop it from getting as bad as it did.

Thanks!

I'm going to move this out to the general Breastfeeding forum since it isn't specifically about Breastfeeding Beyond Infancy.

Sorry, my bad! I thought anyone facing this problem was most likely breastfeeding past infancy, but I get what you're saying.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea to me. I have many times heard that milk thistle is not safe for pregnancy/bfing however I think this is because people mistakenly think it forces detox, but it doesn't force it, it supports it.

That's a really good point. Anyone else on here know more about milk thistle or this general difference between herbs that cause detox vs. supporting detox, and safety of them during pregnancy/breastfeeding?
