Hi,

Lactare capsules are a type of dietary supplement that contain herbal ingredients like Shatavari, jeera, and methi, which are traditionally used to support lactation in breastfeeding mothers. While there is limited scientific evidence to support the use of these herbs for increasing breast milk production, some women may find them helpful.

It is important to note that sore and flat nipples can interfere with successful breastfeeding, as well as milk production. It may be helpful to work with a lactation consultant or healthcare provider to address these issues and to learn techniques for improving latch and positioning.

As for the Lactare capsules, it is best to follow the instructions on the label or as recommended by a healthcare provider. While increasing the dosage may seem like a logical solution for increasing milk supply, it is important to use caution and avoid exceeding the recommended daily amount. It may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider or lactation consultant for individualized advice on increasing milk supply and managing breastfeeding concerns.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
