During breastfeeding, Ayurveda focuses on Rasayana (nourishment), good digestion, hydration, and balanced hormones to support both mother and baby. For overall wellness, you can safely focus on: Warm homemade nutritious foods with ghee Adequate fluids (jeera-ajwain-fennel water, coconut water, milk) Iron, calcium, vitamin D, and B12 support if deficient Shatavari, fennel, and methi in moderate amounts may help strength and milk supply Proper sleep and stress reduction are equally important Since you have thyroid issues with fatigue and slight low milk supply, avoid taking herbal thyroid medicines during breastfeeding Regarding Krishna’s Thyrocare Juice or Patanjali Thyrogrit: These products contain multiple herbs that may influence thyroid hormones and metabolism. Dnt use during breastfeeding Some ingredients may affect milk supply or may not suit all thyroid conditions. A safer Ayurvedic approach is to first improve: digestion, nutrition, hydration, post-delivery recovery, before using thyroid-support herbs. Also: Drink 2.5–3 liters fluids daily Avoid skipping meals Include sesame, dates, soaked almonds, moong soup, and milk with Shatavari (if suitable)
