how long does shatavari take to increase breast milk - #26812

Fatima

I am a new mom and I've been struggling with my milk supply ever since my baby was born a few weeks back. It's kind of been stressing me out, y'know? I keep hearing about this herb called shatavari and how supposedly, it can help with lactation. My friend swears by it and even sent me some capsules. But I'm just kinda confused — how long does shatavari take to increase breast milk? Like, I started taking it yesterday, but I’m not sure if I should expect to see changes right away or if it takes a long time. I’ve been trying all the things, like nursing more, drinking tons of water, even eating oatmeal, but sometimes I feel like I'm just doing it all for nothing. What if shatavari doesn't work for me? I feel like I put too much pressure on myself to produce more milk. I read online that some folks saw results within a few days, while others said it take weeks. Is that normal? Anyone have a timeline for how long does shatavari take to increase breast milk? Any advice or personal experiences would be super helpful!

Doctors' responses

Regarding shatavari and its potential effects on increasing breast milk, it’s important to understand that responses can vary widely from person to person. Some mothers report noticing an improvement in milk supply within a few days to a week of starting shatavari, while for others it may take longer, or they might not notice any change at all. The timeline can depend on various individual factors including overall health, hormonal balance, and how your body responds to the herb. Shatavari, a traditional Ayurvedic remedy, is often used as a galactagogue, a substance that promotes lactation. While there’s some traditional and anecdotal support for its use, scientific evidence on its efficacy is limited and varies. It’s always best to view supplements as one part of a broader approach to managing milk supply issues rather than a singular solution. Continue with other supportive measures like frequent nursing or pumping sessions to stimulate production, ensuring adequate rest, hydration, and a balanced diet. Sometimes, working with a lactation consultant can help identify underlying issues that might not be addressed by supplements alone. If you don’t notice any significant change in your milk supply after a couple of weeks with shatavari or if you’re feeling overwhelmed, it might be beneficial to consult with a healthcare provider. They can look into other potential causes of low milk supply and recommend personalized strategies for managing lactation. Keep in mind that every breastfeeding journey is unique, and finding what works for you may take some time and patience.
