Yes, constipation can be more common during breastfeeding because your body uses more fluids for milk production, which can make stools harder even if you drink water. Frequent use of Dulcolax is not ideal long term; instead, increase fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), fluids, and physical activity. You can safely use gentler options like Isabgol or Lactulose regularly if needed. If constipation persists or becomes severe, consult a doctor for proper guidance.
