While Lactare (Shatavari) can help support lactation, taking it six times a day is higher than the standard recommended dose of one to two tablets, two to three times daily, and is not advised without medical supervision. Frequent nursing every hour is actually a very normal behavior called cluster feeding, which naturally stimulates your milk supply. Before increasing your dosage, please consult your doctor or a lactation consultant. They can safely evaluate your baby's latch and growth to reassure you, while ensuring you are taking the supplement at a safe and effective dose.
