Answer 1

your doctor wouldnt have recomended it if it made any difference i used sinacot but took half the recomended amount and i was breast feeding it should be fine but every baby is different

Answer 2

Try a natural approach first.

Eat some prunes. Drink lots of water. Eat only veggies and fruits until you move.

Answer 3

you dont need natural - dcolax is natural - safe and ok to take while bf'ing.  i took it during my pregnancy and after...dont reinvent the wheel - it is safe and effective...
