Hi! You’re doing a great job managing both your health and a 4-month-old baby — that’s not easy.
Your breathing difficulty at night could be due to uncontrolled sugars, anxiety, or anemia, but it’s not directly caused by
diabetes spreading to your baby. Type-2 diabetes doesn’t transmit through breast milk — in fact, breastfeeding helps control your sugars and benefits your baby.
Please don’t switch to Ayurvedic or homeopathic medicines right now, as most aren’t tested for safety in lactation and may harm the baby. Continue your prescribed allopathic diabetes medicines after confirming they’re safe in breastfeeding (many are).
I strongly suggest:
✅ Check your blood
sugar (fasting, post-meal,
HbA1c)
✅ Get a CBC and
thyroid test
✅ Have a physical examination to rule out anemia or heart-related causes for breathlessness
We can review your reports and current medicines in a short video consultation to guide exact treatment and lifestyle changes.
