I would not advise kayam churna or any other laxative.
Rather have fibrous food.
Or if you want to have, go for the mild one .
Best is have warm water + ghee empty stomach.
Avoid tea , coffee.
Have light food.

Its not advisable for long term. better to concentrate and work on root cause of your indigestion and constipation. only kayam churna will not be the solution. you have to take it kayam (for permanent) if you dont focuses on your digestion.

Kayam Churna contains Senna, which is a strong laxative and may pass into breast milk, potentially causing loose stools or discomfort in the baby. It is better to opt for milder Ayurvedic alternatives for constipation during breastfeeding.
Safer Alternatives:
Triphala Churna (½ tsp with warm water at bedtime) â Gentle and safe.
Isabgol (Psyllium husk) with warm milk â Improves digestion.
Ghee + warm water before bed â Helps soften stools.
Soaked raisins & figs in the morning â Natural laxative.
If you still prefer Kayam Churna, take a minimal dose (¼ tsp at night, occasionally) and monitor your babyâs digestion.
