Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Lactare capsules and granules are usually used to increase the
lactation. It takes 5-7 days for these to show an effect. Breast milk production is under hormonal control that is
prolactin &
oxytocin.
As you start feeding your baby these hormonal production naturally increases in your body to secrete breast milk.
Except hormonal level many other factors also increase milk production like-
1. Feeding on demand means whenever baby cry you start to feed him or her. Feed the baby at least every 3-4 hours. This will keep your hormones active.
2.High protein diet( during lactation you would have to take 15 grams extra protein as compared to
pregnancy)
3.Oral intake of plenty of fluids
4. Avoiding
contraceptive pills that decrease milk production.
Keeping all these points in mind you feed your baby definitely you will get good results.
If still milk production is not good you can take
Domperidone, metoclopramide(normally these drugs are used to prevent nausea &
vomiting but they also increase milk production) after consulting your gynecologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
