Releasing Toxins and Nursing?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Guest guest

Hi. I'm very new to Kundalini Yoga (1 week) but have already experienced

wonderful effects and am dedicated to continuing. I just have a question about

whether regular practice literally causes release of toxins stored in the body.

I am still breastfeeding my 17 month old and am just a little nervous about

whether toxins are being released and then excreted into the milk. If anyone

has any thoughts or information about this please let me know.

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

I may not be able to answer your toxicity question, but as a pediatric health

professional, may I  ask why you  decided to continue breast-feeding  a

17-month old child?   Is your pediatrician  aware of this?  There are many

psycho-social factors to consider when  nursing a child of that age. Do you

have a plan in mind to wean your child?

 

Warmly, k

Hi. I have to admit that I'm a bit taken aback to start my journey with this

group by being challenged on such a personal issue. I don't really want to get

into a debate about it, but I will tell you that current World Health

Organization, Health Canada, and Toronto Public Health (where I live) guidelines

are to nurse children to " 2 years and beyond " . Here are a couple quick google

results that give some of my reasons.

I am near completion of a PhD in Clinical Psychology and have no concerns for my

child's emotional, psychological or social functioning. He is a well-adjusted,

happy, confident toddler.

 

I have complete respect for women who choose to wean earlier. It's a personal

choice. I only mentioned his age because I know he deals physically with

exposure to substances differently than a younger baby.

 

I appreciate that you were only responding out of concern. Thank you for that.

Sat Nam!

I have been nursing consecutively for almost 5 years (2 different children).

This has been a thought that I had as well. From my understanding, it is a

gradual process. We release toxins everyday without yoga. Yoga just helps it

happen more efficiently. I haven't noticed any adverse affects in my 2 year old

who still nurses. I will have been practicing a year this June.

 

Kristy - There is no reason that the original poster should consider weaning her

child if neither she nor her child is ready to do so. Breastfeeding is a mutual

decision and if she is still happy nursing and her baby wants to nurse then this

relationship can only strengthen the security her baby feels in the world, not

to mention that breastmilk is the perfect food for her child. The AAP suggests

breastfeeding for at least 6 months, but says that a year or more is excellent

and very beneficial to mother and baby. The average age in the world to wean is

around age 3. Most children will naturally wean at that time as my oldest

daughter did. It has only been with the introduction of formula and baby foods

at early ages that we have felt this social pressure to wean. Breastfeeding

helps in so many ways naturally space our children, by decreasing fertility

somewhat in many women. I have to say that my oldest daughter is a very secure

child, independent, and happy in the world. I have seen no adverse affects for

either her nor myself in extended breastfeeding, and no doctor we have seen has

ever told us to stop for any reason. She weaned herself at age 3 with no

trouble,tears, or feelings of separation.

 

Thanks,

Kelli

Hmmm, what's wrong with nursing a child of 17 months, just because it isn't so

common in this country because of holdover ideas from the 1950's? Throughout

human history and in probably most parts of the world today, it's NORMAL to

nurse at least a bare minimum of a year. A friend of mine who was in Malaysia

for the Peace Corps and traveled around quite a bit said she met a girl who was

still breastfeeding at age 11- as kind of an " afternoon snack " in an

impoverished country where sugar is a very rare delicacy. Even in this country,

hasn't everyone heard of the La Leche League organization, dedicated to helping

Moms support each other in successful nursing? Their policy is that nursing for

years is ok if everybody's happy and it is certainly healthy. You might give

them a call with your question. They are serving for that purpose!

 

As for the toxicity question, it's probably not an issue, but drink lots of

water before and after yoga and observe your child for anything unusual after a

hard kriya. Foodstuff comes through the milk readily, but body toxins are more

likely to be released through the breath, sweat, and urine. By now your child is

probably getting a lot of nutrition from solid food as well and has a much

heavier body mass in relation to the volume of milk ingested. If you happen to

notice anything unusual, you could exercise less intensely, but I doubt you

will. But your child will positively bask in the good vibes produced by a happy

sadhana! :)

 

I breastfed my 3 kids for a total of almost 10 glorious years, and it was one of

the best things I've ever done in my life.

Hello..

 

 

 

Your facts disturb me. If you expressed milk into a bottle  for a child who has

reached weaning age.. ok-- that is   fine and subject to your health , your

child's,, and your  credentialed care provider's agreement. 

 

Perhaps I mis-understood.   I  assumed  she was still suckling a child

whose  physical/  social /  and psyco-social development  is indeed  in

jeopardy when a female  is using an innocent child  in this manner.

 

 It is by no means a fact that such an activity is appropriate world-wide. If

it is practiced with cultural acceptance, it is serving a  darker craving of 

a parent, and the  innocent forever suffers  psycho-socially.

 

 

For the the  record..

 

 I have behavioral medicine and psychological credentials  from both 

Standford, U. Az / Integrative Med,,  Zen -monastic training, and three

fellowships in alternative  pediatric care centers.

 

 I am not judgemental.  I care about the  child-- first and always.

 

In my experience  with psycho-sexual development, as I  work with patients, 

I had a female patient who actually suckled  a 10-yr. old. Sucking her

breasts & !

 

No.. that is neither healthy , nor  rational for either. I can't believe you

are suggesting  this is appropriate. As we  know, such  actions are sexual

substitutions and ego-driven.  I  witnes  tragic self-destruction among

seventeed different children who  endured this  dysfunctional family system. 

No-- this is  by no means, love. Its  has a pathology, but  there are

treatments.

Sorry.. not true.

 

 I am indee  a comminteed to practice K-yoga,  meditatioin   and many

alternative health modalities. But i  have very solid academic, and cultural 

training. Yopu   have an opinion, and I respect that deeply.  But  it is not

a fact.'

 

 

Make no mistake. I will protect the children first. I will never allow  abuse,

regardless of cultural norms, or the  lack of knowledge  by individuals. 

'' The children always come first.

Sorry,

 

 I have every concern.  Your facts  are twisted to suit your bias, and i

doubt your credentials.  My sister is also a well-known attorney in Washington,

D.C., and committed to child-safety. Her hisband is an attorney, and is, in

fact, one of the  most powerful attorneys in this country.  I'm not  writing

about this to  serve my view. I simply will ferret out  any and all child

abuse I possibly can.  Not one person here can go into a court of law and

defend having her nipples sucked by a child who is 2 -10.

 

But I invite you to  do  so.

 

I am not trying to hurt others here. i am a zen and yoga  teacher. But child 

safety always trumps  as the right thing.

To All,

 

 I have no interest in offending those here.

 

 Let me add.. to all my other comments...

 

I am also married to a neurosurgeon, and his  father is  a renowned

psychiatrist.   It  is  my belief in integrative  care thaty inspired me to

study yoga  and zen...

 My own training in pediatrics and behavioral medicine is rooted in  the love

and compassion for all children of the world.. K

I just had to respond to this. I have had complaints from other members about

your posts, and I can well understand why. If you are so concerned about child

safety then you will no doubt be cognizant of the figures from third world

countries, particularly in places such as Africa, where infant mortality has

greatly increased thanks to the efforts of Nestle and other multinationals,

totally concerned about bottom lines and not giving a damn for the well-being of

their customers. Mother's milk is the natural way for infants to receive things

such as anti-bodies and build up their immunity, essential to their health in

many of these places, plus the complete lack of a hygienic water supply means

that often the milk formula mothers have been told they should mix up and use

for the good of their children comes complete with a cocktail of harmful, even

lethal bacteria.

 

This is not a place to be judgmental, nor to drop names, and I couldn't care

less if you were directly related to the Attorney General - it does not make

your opinions any more or less valid.

Wow! Just stumbled onto this site seeking info concerning breastfeeding and toxins during hot yoga. I am not impressed with your credentials, Ms. McClain, considering how warped you beliefs are, they are not in line with current science, nor anything to do with Stanford studies. I am not only a psychotherapist and post partum doula, but also considered an expert in the field of healthy sexual development of children as well as sexual abuse issues. You need to seriously consider therapy, hopefully before you spread your bile on future clients. If you have not sought professional help, I suggest you do, as if you were my grad student, i would refuse to allow you to seek licensure.

Best,

> Hi. I'm very new to Kundalini Yoga (1 week) but have already experienced

wonderful effects and am dedicated to continuing. I just have a question about

whether regular practice literally causes release of toxins stored in the body.

I am still breastfeeding my 17 month old and am just a little nervous about

whether toxins are being released and then excreted into the milk. If anyone has

any thoughts or information about this please let me know.
