Breastfeeding supplements

There's no need for any breastfeeding-specific supplements. Decent diet and vit D3 is all you need. Or just a standard multivitamin. Anything else is just a marketing ploy/recipe for very expensive wee xx

Just keep taking your prenatals if you have any, or buy any Post natal or women’s vitamins you see on sale at the shops. Women’s daily is fine plus a healthy diet try to drink bone broth weekly and just wholesome and healthy and lots of water since BF made me thirsty AF.

Sunflower lethicin helped me when i kept getting clogged ducts!
Just make sure youre taking a food grade or liquid post natal. Also get good protein. Im 14 months in and still feel bad if i dnt do both! I liked megafood baby and me multivitamins and mary ruths liquid multivitamin!

You can get most of your nutrients from diet especially if you focus on getting enough protein from like meat, eggs, tofu, lentils, beans etc. I've also read that a more diverse healthy gut produces better milk that means to eat different types of fibre, different colours of veg and fruit, wholegrains etc. Another thing postpartum mums should watch out for is iron levels (hair loss is a sign of low iron). You could ask your GP for a ferritin test and you want it to be over 50. GPs consider low iron under 13 but that's way too low and optimal is about 70 but 50 is ok. The healthier and well nourished you're, it'll be easier for your body to produce milk. Suppliments can help but still there are there to suppliment a healthy diet. Also, don't take it too hard on yourself, if you're not able to breastfeed or if it's exhausting for you. It's fine to give babies formula too. I know many women women who beat themselves up because they can't breastfeed or it makes them absolutely exhausted, formula is fine
