Can I take triphala for my constipation and help my 7-month-old baby through breastmilk after she had a reaction to yogurt? - #54367

I’m considering taking triphala to help with my constipation (small hard stools), and potentially my baby through my breastmilk. My baby is 7 months, and due to antibiotics at birth has had some gut related issues. We’ve been introducing her to solids and she was doing well — working through it and pooping enough — until we gave her some homemade yogurt almost 2 weeks ago. She hasn’t pooped at all since that incident (she also had a major skin reaction to the yogurt), and I’m wondering if her channels could be clogged. Could taking triphala potentially help her with this through my breastmilk?

Yes, you can take Triphala for your constipation — it is safe and helpful for softening stools and balancing Vata. But it will NOT treat your baby’s constipation through breastmilk. Its effect does not pass strongly enough to the baby. For your baby: Likely dairy intolerance (yogurt reaction + rash) → avoid yogurt for now Give small amounts of warm water between feeds Do gentle tummy massage with warm oil You can give a little prune puree or soaked raisin water (mild natural laxative)
