Barbara from Oakland California emailed us this often asked question. Can I drink raw carrot juice while breastfeeding? The answer is yes you can drink raw fresh homemade carrot juice while breastfeeding. Carrot juice is one of the richest vitamin A and beta-carotene sources on the planet, it also contains abundant amounts of iron, calcium, antioxidants, zinc, and vitamin C. To summarize, it's a vitamin and mineral powerhouse, and definitely something that a breastfeeding mother should drink. One pint to a liter a day is all the carrot juice that needs to be consumed in order to benefit from it's nutrient rich liquids. The only precautionary note that I should mention is that because carrot juice is so rich in vitamin A, you don't want to drink too much of it as you can overdose on the vitamin. If you have any further questions on the subject then be sure to consult with a certified doctor. I would like to thank Barbara again for this superb question.
