What is the effect of "Satavarex" on nursing mothers with regard to lactation?

My problem is very very severe and I'd like expert opinion on this one. The person who would be in a position to answer this question would be an ayurvedic doctor who knows a lot about how the product "Satavarex" from Zandu Pharmaceuticals works on nursing women.

On the 8th day of my sons birth, I started taking 2 spoons of satavarex twice a day for 15 days. Then I stopped taking it. Later I realised that I was getting only 30 ml of milk from each breast. Then now again I have started taking it. My son is 1 and a half months old and I do not wish to continue with this. I am unable to understand my own body and the worse part is that I am not able to understand how much milk my child is getting. Every 2 hours, I get tense thinking whether my breasts will have enouh milk to feed my son who loves suckling. I feel desperate and am on the verge of switching to formula. My son suckles a lot and the milk supply just stops if i do not continue with satavarex.

Please help me!!!!

Answers:
What makes you think your milk supply is dropping? Many women think they have supply problems when they don't. Without knowing this, there is no way to judge what the problem may be.

Instead of trying to solve this problem on your own, I would suggest you contact La Leche League (see sources section below). They can give you factual help that is designed specifically for your situation.

I hope this helps. Good luck!!
