Abstract :
Background: Breastfeeding is widely acknowledged as the preferred and recommended mode of infant nutrition. However, women who have undergone cesarean deliveries may face an increased risk of inadequate breast milk production, which can be addressed through various techniques, including the use of galactagogues, which stimulate breast milk production. Galactagogues are synthetic or plant molecules that induce, maintain, and increase milk production.
Materials and Methods: In this current real-world evidence study, 53 lactating women were enrolled. During the study, they received lactobites bar for 28 days. The intestinal health of the baby, incidences of formula feeding, the volume of breast milk, baby’s anthropometric measures: such as changes in height, changes in the quality of hair and skin of the mother were evaluated. The feeling of wellness in the mother and haemoglobin levels were also assessed during the study.
Results: The haemoglobin levels were significantly increased in mothers who were given lactobites bar. A significant increase was observed in hours of night and day sleep, stool frequency per day, vol. of breast milk [baseline vs 28t h day: 30.19 ± 34.4 vs 448.06 ± 651.11; p
