I want to know the safest diuretic during breastfeeding,have edema and want to know what is really safe?

Try natural first: Dandelion and nettle are supposed to be good natural diuretics, and should be OK while nursing. Cranberry juice would be safe and that is reputed to help. I have also read that watermelon and cucumbers help to encourage urination, so maybe try those.
