Hi,

Lactare granules is an ayurvedic supplement that contains the extracts of herbs well known for galactagouge properties is used to enhance milk production in lactating mothers. This product should be taken in the dose and duration as directed by the prescribing doctor and should not be consumed more than the recommended dose. Side effects of Lactare granules are diarrhea, stomach upset, tiredness, headache, water and sodium retention, allergic reactions etc. Breast feeding is the source of nutrition for your baby for about 6 months. But if your milk production is not sufficient to meet up the requirements of your baby's nutrition, then you should consult your baby's pediatrician. If your baby's pediatrician will suggest you to use feeding bottle, then you can use.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
