I am a mother of 43 days old baby boy. I have been breastfeeding him so far and for the past 2 days I noticed that my milk isnt enough for him. I had to supplement with formula a couple of times per day. I want to feed him exclusively with my milk for 4 months and then slowly start semi solids and then solids. I am very very sad about supplementing with formula now. I have not changed anything in my routine and not sure what is happening with me. May be my baby is going through a growth spurt and demands more. I just hope my milk will keep up to the demand soon.
I have already been taking lots of garlic, jeera water, mothers milk tea, oats, veggies that help with lactation etc.
Meanwhile, I heard that shatavari capsules/powder helps with milk supply. I have a few questions on that and I hope you will be able to help me.
1. Has anyone tried this and found success? If yes, was it significant increase in supply?
2. Does it alter the hormonal balance in our body? I see that this is not only used for incresing milk supply but also during other times. So, I am confused by this and am afraid if it will do any harm.
3. Which brand should I buy? I see a lot of brands in amazon when I looked for shatavari.
4. I have started taking fenugreek seeds. I soak it overnight and take a tsp couple of times during the day. Everytime I take this I am at the verge of throwing up but somehow am managing to swallow. Is it okay to take the seeds without soaking? It is so much better to swallow the fenugreek seeds in raw form instead of soaking. If I do this, will I get the same benefits as the soaked seeds?
I am very grateful for your valuable suggestions.
Need feedback on Shatavari capsules/powder for breastfeeding
