I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Cleanses are not a safe or effective way to lose weight, and you should not do them while breastfeeding. First, when you detoxify, the toxins are released into your breastmilk and your baby ingests them. Secondly, most cleanses restrict your caloric intake to unsafe levels, and you really should maintain at least 1800 calories a day while breastfeeding or your milk supply may decrease.

The best way to lose weight is slowly (1-2 lbs/week), by getting more exercise and making better food choices (eat smaller meals, cut back on sodas and empty calories, eat fewer processed foods). Weight Watchers is a good programm and can be modified for breastfeeding women.

Good luck!
