Vitamins

[Bec L]

Hi
Do any of you breastfeeders take any vitamins? Either specific b/f ones or just normal ones?

I used to take multi vitamins before I got pregnant, but I couldn't take any during pregnancy because of the medication I was on.

I seem to constantly have a cold at the moment (and keep passing it on to Poppy) and feel like I could do with a vitamin 'boost.' Whenever I have asked my doctor whether I can take any whilst b/f they have always said if you are eating a healthy balanced diet you don't need them. I can't honestly say I always have my 5-a-day...

Just wondered if the rest of you take any and if you know of any which are safe to have whilst b/f? xx

Here they recommend you continue to take you prenatal vitamins while nursing, I did most of the time but don't remember allthe time anymore

I'm still taking the Pregnacare ones - they say on the box that they're for pregnancy and breastfeeding. I've taken them daily since finding out I was pregnant.
