A member asked:

Which vitamin suplement should i take to avoid tiredness as i am brestfeeding a 15 month old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High calories: Breast feeding mother need 500 calories per day more than non breast feeding ladies. So you probably need to eat more calories. Any over the counter multivitamin should be ok.
