Prenatals/Postnatals/General Vitamins

Pregnancy & Postpartum

Mamas I have a question…

Do you keep taking the prenatal vitamins after delivery your baby or you switched to the postnatal?? Is there a big difference between the ingredients and stuff you would need now (breastfeeding, hair loss, energy, etc etc etc) and or you just take the normal women vitamins???

I was taking prenatal when I run out I went to the normal ones but because of the iron they were kind of hard on my stomach, but postnatal vitamins are so expensive!!

What has work for you? What would you recommend??

I seem to get mixed guidance on this. I did a prenatal for my first postpartum period and I’m doing a postnatal for my second postpartum period

Everyone always says prenatals but I had already ordered postnatals so I just did that and they seem to work great idk! I take postnatals and choline still and I also take a prenatal probiotic on top of my lactation supplements it’s a lot but seems to work for me

I really like it!!! It’s yummy and something fun I do is I crush a bag of chocolate lactation cookies from munchkin and add it to the shake and it becomes a cookies and cream situation :face_with_peeking_eye::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

That sounds delicious!!!

How are the Ritual vitamins working for you?

I’ve been tempted to get them, but my husband says it’s all marketing, lol. That’s why I want to know if there’s really that big of a difference in the benefits from one to another.

I haven’t noticed a difference. Mine are both one day women’s so maybe similar structure!

I did continue choline as a another pill for baby’s Brain development- no clue if it translates with breastfeeding though
