Limited time, what's my best approach?

You might actually want to double check the peppermint tea while bfing....I think one time a day is okay, but I'm not sure. Saw Palmetto is definitely a no-no while bfing.

I know what you mean about all the information. I have been researching this on and off for a year!

I know trying to rid your body of nutrients sounds horrible, but the main premise of this is to trick your body into thinking you are in a famine, so well, there you go. But really, I have been doing this for 3 weeks now and I am feeling fine.

ETA: here's the info about peppermint tea: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...depth-how.html

Also, everyone needs to remember that for most of human existence we didn't have anywhere near the amount of quality nutrients that we have now. IF anything we are presently overnourished, not undernourished.

The older and larger your baby is, the more leeway you have when BF. Vitex and pep tea I believe to be ok for an older baby and certainly for a toddler. I am wary of saw palmetto and aspirin/cran even for older babies and would prefer you guys gave those a pass.

Soy is a great unknown for swaying and you can read about it here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...-girl-boy.html

Sodium, I personally believe does not sway blue and may even sway pink in very high doses. People have been eating a ghastly amount of sodium since prehistoric times. Since it's good for health and conception to cut back on it, and easy enough to do, I keep the sodium restriction in the LE Diet. However, I did not follow the sodium restriction and got a girl after cutting back on sodium and getting DS 4.

Abstain is not ~very~ risky for anyone regardless of age. Even things that are 100% proven to cause serious issues like thalidomide and Retin A only cause issues for babies like 20% of the time. I just want people to be aware that the potential exists so they make a fully informed decision. It is a fact that abstain will really cut down odds of conception and the longer you abstain, the worse it can be.
