Can Ayurvedic Tablets Be Taken By The Mother Post-partum For The Newnborn's Nourishment?
Question: Hello Doctor,
My relative has delivered a pre-matured baby in 7th month. She was prescribed Ayrvedic tablets Vidyandand's Saptamas for better nourishment of baby and mother especially in the 7th month. I would like a second opinion... if it is still recommended to take these tables (after delivery).

Dear
Thanks for contacting with your health query and after reviewing your case, I'm of the following opinion:
1. As 7th month has passed and also preterm delievery has been done [sorry to hear that] thus I would not have recommended continuing with the tablets since it is meant to provide nourishment to the fetus [inside womb], so request you to kindly consult with your attending health care provider.
2. Since how many days have passed after delivery, for that I usually prescribe:
- Balant kadha no. 1: for the first 10 days
- Balant kadha no. 2: from 11th to 20th day
- Balant kadha no. 3: from 21st day to 60th day
PS. the medicine is of SANDU Pharmacy, so you can start with any of the above [keeping in mind the days gone after delivery]
3. As the baby is preterm thus he/she must have been under the regular supervision of Pediatrician in NICU [giving extra medical attention], so things [health or long-term issues] to watch out and to keep in mind are:
- Anemia of prematurity [iron is deposited in the fetal body, in the last phase of intrauterine life, thus premature babies are specifically susceptible to iron deficiency] thus do not give iron supplements as this will be physiological and giving unnecessary iron supplements might result in iron overloading/poisoning
- remember that their developmental milestone will be assessed from their due date and not when they are actually born.
- you can ask for other exhaustive lists from the attending physician.
PS. only thing is that one has to find and treat health problem(s) as early as possible [if any surfaces]
With warm regards to the family and affection to the aspiring baby.
