meeta agarwalMom of 2 children5 years agoA. Hello mommy, No data exist on the excretion of any components of the castor plant or castor oil into breastmilk or on their safety and efficacy in nursing mothers or infants. However, little of the active ricinoleic acid is thought to be absorbed from the intestine.
What can you do for postpartum constipation relief?
Hydrate with plenty of water and other liquids.
Add more fiber to your diet, like whole grains, bran, lentils, beans.
Eat foods that are natural laxatives, like prunes.
Move around as much as possible and engage in gentle exercise by doing squats if it is not painful.
