Hi, constipation during lactation is common due to hormonal changes, dehydration, and diet.
Next Steps
• Increase water intake (2.5–3 liters daily)
• Eat more fiber: fruits (papaya, banana), soaked raisins, vegetables, oats, whole grains
• Include ghee or a teaspoon of isabgol (psyllium husk) in warm water at bedtime
• Mild stool softeners like lactulose syrup are safe during breastfeeding if needed
