Oregano High Dose When Breast Feeding?

[BrianF]

My partner is still breastfeeding our kid aged 13 months. Having successfully treated SIBO with oregano before, she trusts this method.

Her SIBO was under control and not an issue due to good diet after the treatment but a massive dose of antibiotics whem giving birth has messed her gut flora up.

Bit of research tells me that Oregano has no neurotoxic properties but there is no data on oregano v bteastfeeding so opinions range from 'cant recommend it because there's no data' to 'yes its fine, only side effect will be a reduction in milk volumes produced'

All opinions welcome!

She can consider drinking the breast milk herself, it should be loaded with beneficial bacteria.

I can certainly reccomend that to her. Intetesting suggestion.

What symptoms does she get from the sibo and did she just get rid of it with diet alone?

Oregano might kill the gentle flora from the milk

The existing flora in my daughters gut? Wouldnt it be digested too high up?
