… and what you can take to boost up that milk supply.
For those who don’t eat perfectly like me, vitamins can be great supplements for your wellbeing. I’m not a doctor, but I have done endless researches! Based on personal preferences, these are what I take on daily basis. Please double check with health professionals, and remember to try to eat right, because the best nutrients are from your diet!
here are best vitamins for breastfeeding moms:
1. Blackmores Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Gold
Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Gold provides an ideal daily dose of 20 important nutrients for mother and baby including folic acid, iodine, DHA, vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) and vitamin D3. With a low-constipation iron.
2. Probiotics
Did you know that Gut Bacteria is very important for your health? With so mang refined and processed food these days, not to mention eating antibiotics when we’re sick, the good bacteria in our gut gets depleted. And when your gut has problems, your whole wellbeing has problems (including eczema, that I generically inherit from my parents) So to reduce that risk, I personally love this brand: Life-Space Broad Spectrum Probiotic. It is a premium, multi-strain probiotic containing 15 strains of beneficial bacteria. Specifically formulated to support general health and wellbeing, digestive health and immune health. Based on scientific evidence, health benefits may include:
- Supporting a healthy microbiome
- Supporting digestive and gastrointestinal health
- Supporting a healthy immune system
- Maintaining healthy levels of beneficial bacteria
- Supporting normal, healthy bowel movements
- Assisting in maintaining healthy digestive flora following the use of antibiotics.
3. Calcium Magnesium Zinc + D3
I took the blackmores calcimag multi with D3, nature made, and puritan’s pride. Basically, I don’t drink cow’s milk on a regular basis, but your body needs calcium to prevent osteoporosis, and to provide breastmilk for your baby’s strong bones! Puritan’s Pride offers a high quality Calcium / Magnesium / Zinc supplement that delivers 1000 mg Calcium, 400 mg Magnesium and 25 mg Zinc in one convenient form for optimal nutritional support. Calcium is the primary mineral responsible for strong bones.** The body cannot produce calcium, so proper amounts must be ingested in order to provide the body with this essential nutrient. Calcium and magnesium play roles in proper bone mineralization, muscle contractions and nerve impulses.** Zinc helps support immune function and plays a role in over 300 enzymes in the body.**
4. Blackmores Herbs of Gold
I suggest taking these in the last month of pregnancy and throughout breastfeeding phase. This breastfeeding Support contains the herbs Blessed thistle and Fenugreek in one tablet, which I now take two daily.
Blessed thistle and Fenugreek have traditionally been used for their galactagogue properties and may assist in stimulating the production of breast milk in nursing mothers, thus improving lactation.
5. Acerola / amla derived vitamin C
Vitamin c for breastfeeding mom, There are so many synthetic vitamin C or ascorbic acid brands in drugstores, which I don’t prefer because they are manufactured in artifical form that does not represent dietary sources and lacks the bioavailability of the natural compund. When you eat wholefoods vitamins or natural vitamins, the compounds are readily used by the body which provides better absorption and all the goodness it will bring! Vitamin C is responsible for hundreds of processes within our body, some are minor and others crucial. For example, vitamin C is used by our body to make proteins which are the building blocks for many of our tissues and organs. Collagen, which is responsible for the formation of parts of our bones, muscles, cartilage and skin, is made using vitamin C.
Vitamin C also plays an important part in our immune function by improving the activity of some white blood cells such as ‘natural killer cells’ (the scary ones!) and also allowing our immune system to communicate and co-ordinate its attack against invaders, that's why it's one of the best vitamins for breastfeeding moms.
Imboost force? these are super great when you are about to get sick. With black elderberry and echinacea extract, these will boost up your immune system.
