POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy5 months agoA. Thanks for sharing! Since you are breastfeeding your 6-month-old baby, it's very important to be cautious about supplements like shilajit.
Here’s the honest answer:
Shilajit is a natural herb-mineral substance often used for boosting energy and relieving body pains. But it is NOT well-studied for safety during breastfeeding. There is very little scientific research about how it might affect breast milk or your baby. Some concerns with shilajit include the risk of heavy metal contamination (like lead, arsenic), especially if the product is not purified properly.
Doctors usually recommend avoiding it during breastfeeding, unless:
It is prescribed by a trusted doctor who knows your breastfeeding status. It is from a highly reliable, purified source (very rare).
Safer alternatives for muscle and body pain while breastfeeding are:
Light stretching or yoga. Warm compress or warm baths. Magnesium-rich foods (like spinach, nuts) or safe magnesium supplements (ask your doctor). Taking a mild, breastfeeding-safe painkiller like paracetamol if needed (only after doctor advice).
In short:
Better to avoid shilajit while you are breastfeeding unless a doctor personally recommends it after checking you.
Would you like me to also suggest some natural ways to reduce your muscle and body pain safely while breastfeeding?
(very easy and effective tips!)
