For nursing mothers, drinking lemon water has a lot of benefits because it is a rich source of vitamin C, riboflavin, vitamin B, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, carbohydrates, and proteins. So drinking lemon water during breastfeeding is beneficial to both you and your baby. Lemon water promotes digestion, nutrient assimilation, and toxin elimination in our body. Thus, in the long run, lemon water prevents the entry of toxins in the milk supply. Besides helping mommy keep hydrated, it also ensures your baby gets nutritious and "clean" milk. http://www.momjunction.com/articles/benefits-of-lemon-water-during-breastfeeding_00357237/
