Should I Take Breastfeeding Supplements?
It’s highly recommended that even after pregnancy, women continue to take supplements such as post-natal vitamins to help aid recovery, support their nutritional needs and help their body with the demands of milk production. Breastfeeding vitamins also help bridge nutritional gaps for both mother and baby helping support recovery in the adult and key developmental needs in the baby.
As a busy period of life, caring for a newborn with poor sleep, healing wounds, increased stresses and mental load, it's important to invest in your nutrition to avoid issues with milk supply, post-natal recovery and weight gain, immunity and other development in your baby as they grow.
How to Take Breastfeeding Supplements
Supplements for breastfeeding should focus on supplying the body with key nutrients such as Vitamin D, Iron and DHA; offering multiple benefits to both mother and baby during this period. These can be taken separately, or as part of specially formulated supplements for breastfeeding which should have the right levels of each inside every dose.
It’s important to consult the individual dosage instructions on your chosen breastfeeding vitamins to ensure you’re achieving recommended levels of intake for each vitamin. Typically, for a specialist formulation the dosage is 1 capsule per day.
Best Breastfeeding Supplements
At Supplement Hub, we work with a team of in-house medical practitioners to help us hand-pick all the supplements in our collection, including our breastfeeding supplements. The best breastfeeding supplements to look out for on their own or within specialist formulations are:
- Calcium Supplements help prevent your body from taking calcium from your own stores in your bones and joints and giving your baby the right amount to support healthy bone and teeth development.
- Omega 3 is passed through breastmilk straight to the baby; giving them a helping of healthy fats that help support brain and cognitive development.
- Iron in the body naturally declines after child-birth and as your body focuses on recovery, breastfeeding and raising a baby it needs extra help building these stores back up so your health doesn’t suffer.
- Vitamin D is important for supporting your body as it recovers and works hard producing milk. A daily supplement for you as well as a child-friendly supplement for exclusively breastfed babies makes sure you’re both getting the right amounts; especially in winter.
