I appreciate the caution to consult a lactation specialist before attributing infant colic solely to milk quality.

Really appreciate that this doesn’t just list herbs but explains the reasoning behind them. The distinction between herbs that purify milk directly versus those that work by improving maternal digestion first makes the whole protocol make sense.

Reading about Kavitha’s situation felt very close to home. My own midwife also dismissed the idea that my milk could be the issue. I wish I’d had this framework during those early weeks rather than just being told to wait it out.

Three weeks postpartum I was so focused on supply that quality never crossed my mind. This reframed the whole thing for me. The bit about warming spices supporting Agni without being too stimulating for the infant was genuinely practical advice.

It’s interesting that modern research links maternal stress to higher cortisol in milk, matching the Vata dushta description.
