Does the apple cider vinegar affect breast feeding
It’s better to avoid using apple cider vinegar while nursing. If you want to include it in your diet, then prefer using pasteurized apple cider vinegar, as unpasteurized will cause some intestinal problems. But remember to take small quantities.
Should a person take apple cider vinegar for long periods of time ? Or should a person stop and start again after a few weeks !
