What vitamins can a breastfeeding moms can take to gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some people may have better appetite when taking multivitamins so it may help but vitamins do not raise your weight directly. If you want to gain weight you need to increase total calories in your diet. Calories come from carbohydrate (grains, flours, sweet fruits, sugar) and lipid (fatty foods).
