Can ayurvedic medicines for weight loss affect breast milk and baby?

by admin on February 25, 2010

My baby is 2 months old and i am breastfeeding her. I want to take Baba Ramdev’s medicines for weight loss( which I gain during pregnancy). I want to know will these medicines affect breast milk or baby in anyway.

I don’t know much about ayurvedic medicine, but your question alarms me. You should be concerned about your baby’s nutrition, not your looks! Weight until the baby is weaned before going on a weight-loss diet! Sorry to scold, but you won’t regret it if you put your baby first.

I am not sure if anyone can answer that for you, and I think the best person to ask is your ayurvedic doctor.
Let me tell you this though. If you are breastfeeding there really is no need to take special measures ( aside from eating healthy and getting moderate exercise) to lose the weight. You are only 2 months postpartum and the weight will come off! I didn’t do anything and I lost all my baby weight just by breastfeeding, by about 8 months it was all gone! It burns a lot of calories you know!

Having said that, medicines do get into your breastmilk so baby will be ingesting it, albeit in small amounts. Just eat healthy, skip the sweets, enjoy your baby and before you know it, you’ll be back to old weight!
