Supplements I take as a breastfeeding mom🤱🏻

Breastfeeding moms, did you know you have to continue taking your prenatal throughout your entire breastfeeding journey? Yes, many moms don’t know this & it’s an essential for breastfeeding moms.

💊 Prenatal: to ensure my baby continues to receive sufficient nutrients through my breastmilk, like vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin D, & DHA.

💊 Vitamin D: help my body absorb calcium & support my baby’s growing bones. While breastmilk is the ultimate nutrient for our babies & considered ✨liquid gold✨ it lacks vitamin D that is essential for our postpartum recovery & the development of our babies.

💊 Iron & folic acid: I’ve struggled with low levels of iron my whole life due to celiac disease. Although I try follow a gluten-free diet it can be hard to keep up with it at times. During my last pregnancy my iron dropped more & it started to affect my folic acid levels. So I take these 2 in addition to my prenatal to keep my iron & folic acid where it needs to be while I’m breastfeeding my baby.

💧Electrolyte boost: to keep up with my hydration & ensure I have a sufficient milk supply for my baby.

🍊 Vitamin C: immunity boost for myself & my baby
