What Are the Challenges of Having a Premature Baby and How Can Ayurveda Support Their Development? - #15071

I gave birth to my baby a month ago, and she was born premature at 32 weeks. While the doctors are doing their best to support her in the NICU, I’m feeling quite anxious about her development and overall health. I’ve heard that Ayurveda can offer natural ways to support a premature baby’s growth, especially in terms of boosting their immune system and promoting healthy development. What are some Ayurvedic remedies that can help with premature baby care? I’ve heard that certain herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari are beneficial for growth and immunity—could these be used for my baby’s age, or are there other more suitable remedies for such a delicate stage of development? Also, I’ve read that Ayurveda places a lot of importance on breastfeeding—are there specific Ayurvedic foods or herbs I should be consuming to improve my milk supply and ensure that my baby gets the best nutrition? Additionally, I’ve been feeling stressed and exhausted as a new mom, which I know can impact my health and the baby’s development. Are there Ayurvedic practices that can help me reduce stress and promote my overall health, which would, in turn, benefit my baby? Has anyone here had a premature baby and found that Ayurvedic treatments helped support their baby’s growth and development? What herbs, practices, or dietary changes worked for you during this challenging time?
