Vitamins and Breastfeeding

[dawnfire]

The prenatal I'm taking I just take once a day, but it has 2 different capsules--one has DHA Omega 3 and the other I guess is everything else. Maybe I'm supposed to take them more than once a day and I just didn't bother to read the box properly. That's also a strong possibility! My OB said to take my prenatals as long as I am BFing.

I take the target brand prenatal. I just had my well woman appt and my obgyn didn't like it when I said I forget to take it sometimes. She said she strongly encourages it while BFing.

I take a one a day prenatal. Some brand I bought at Target or one of those stores. I've just taken a prenatal since we started TTC our first and will probably just continue with them until I'm done nursing our last baby.

I still take mine, it's a generic/cheap one from Walmart. Once a day. I've been taking it since 2008, it's going to be really weird when I stop it lol.

I also have to take Vit D 2,000iu due to being perpetually deficient. In addition to my daily meds. I usually remember the vitamins... My other meds, ummm, yeah, I could do better...

Still taking the chewable target brand PNV. Just pop in as part of my bedtime routine (before brushing teeth). Been doing it since I was pregnant with DS (found out January 2012), so 3 years in it's 2nd nature to me. I did start with the One-a-Days that were actually 2 different pills, but I'm much happier with these.

Also, bonus, you can change your answer if you click on the wrong one! Didn't see PNV listed first, so clicked SS and then changed it.

My Doc prescribes a prenatal which I get cause it's super cheap through our HMO. I took it through pregnancy and she said to take it as long as I'm BFing.

I take a 3 pill prenatal, too. I actually think its part of the reason I haven't been constantly sick with how little sleep I get lately! If I take DHA that's two separate pills. I went the organic/whole food vitamin route, which is the reason for so many.

Do you take the Raw Code prenatals? That's what I've been taking.

I take Realfood Organics for the prenatal and then if I remember the DHA (which I never do) it's Nordic Naturals. I looked into a Megafood prenatal and those things are FOUR pills! I stuck with my 3!
