A member asked:
I became anemic while pregnant and my doctor told me to take iron daily. now that the baby is born and i am breastfeeding, do i continue taking iron?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is a good idea to continue taking iron as you had blood loss during delivery and most women are anemia after giving birth. You should also continue taking your prenatal vitamins while you are breast feeding. This will ensure both you and your baby get all the nutrients that you need to be healthy.
