I'm breats feeding. and i was wondering what kind of stool softner can i take?

Senna or docusate: Both senna (derived from plants, most common brand name senekot) and docusate (synthetic medicine, most common brand name colace) are available over-the-counter without prescription, and can be taken once or twice a day with plenty of water. They act as gentle stool softeners, and both are safe to use when you are breastfeeding.
