A member asked:
What daily vitamins should i take after having a baby? is there a difference if i am or am not breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prenatal vitamins: In general we tell women to take prenatals for 6 months or until you stop breastfeeding. I know that a lot of women have nausea or upset stomach with prenatals and it is safe to go back to a regular multivitamin if you don't tolerate the prenatals.
