Then the Jatakarma (religious rite concerned method described in texts of Dharmasatra) should be done following the prajapathi vidhi. The Siras (veins and other channels) located in the heart of the mother get dilated after the delivery of the child
तृतीयेऽह्नि चतुर्थे वा स्त्रीणां स्तन्यं प्रवर्तते । प्रथमे दिवसे तस्मात्त्रिकालं मधुसर्पिषी ॥ १२ ॥
so the woman begins to produce breastmilk on the third day or the fourth. Hence on the first day the baby should be made to lick gold mixed with honey and ghee,
अनन्तामिश्रिते मन्त्रपाविते प्राशयेच्छिशुम् । लक्ष्मणासिद्धं तृतीये च घृतं ततः ॥ १३ ॥
fortified with sacred hymns, all the three times of the day. On the second and third days, the baby should be given ghee prepared with Ipomoea sepiaria (all the three times);
afterwards (from the fourth day) the baby which was hither to prevented from sucking the breast, one Panitala (palmful) in quantity of fresh butter should be made to lick followed by drinking of breast- milk two times of the day.
The mother alone should feed the baby with her milk; that itself is sufficient for the development of the body. In the absence of mother's milk, two Dhatri (wet-nurses) who are affectionate should be selected.
