EBFers: are you still taking DHA?

If you took DHA supplements while pregnant and are EBFing, are you still taking DHA pills?

I still take my PNV each day but I stopped taking the Expecta DHA pills.  The box says DHA is good for nursing moms and I'm just curious what everyone else is doing.

Re: EBFers: are you still taking DHA?

  • The pediatrician told me to continue taking them.  I buy One A Day prenatals, which include a bottle of vitamins and a bottle of fish oil capsules (DHA).

    Same here, still taking both.  I am also using the One A Day prenatals.  Since I'm already taking one pill, might as well take both.

  • Yep, I'm taking a prescription vitamin that comes with the DHA (my insurance made it cheaper than over the counter).  I asked the nurses at the hospital about it when I delivered and they said it was a good idea too.

    My prenatals have DHA in them and I am still taking them, so yes.
