[Raven24]

hi my little one is 12 weeks old and exclusivly breastfed
from day one i feel so tired im just exhausted all the time i was hoping it would get better but it isnt so i was thinking i might start taking a multivitamin to give myself a boost and see if that helps, but i dont know which one would be best.
does anyone take a vitamin and if so which on do you use
thanks

Pregnacare is good (the normal one there is no need for the special BF one), or any general multivitamin that's safe for use by BF mums xx

I take a pregnancy multi-vitamin.

I took pregnacare throughout my pregnancy and am now taking a sanatogen new mother multivitamin.
The other thing that comes to mind about your tiredness (apart from the obvious lack of sleep being the reason!) is anemia, I was very anemic during my pregnancy and was permanently exhausted, within 2 weeks of taking iron tablets I felt soo much better, just a thought x

I continue to take my doctor prescribed prenatal vitamins, Caltrate 600mg and neutragain (prenatal fishoil).

thanks, i didnt think about anemia as i was slighty anemic during pregnancy but the blood tests i had after giving birth were normal so figured it had gone but it might be worth me trying to boost my iron intake as well to see if it helps
