Breast feeding and vitamins

Anyone not taking prenatal or post natal Vitamins, but are BF'ing? I was good at taking them while pregnant, but I haven't been PP. I just keep forgetting. How important are they?

I'm getting off the couch now to go take one

LO is 12 weeks, BTW.

Re: Breast feeding and vitamins

  • I remember them more often now than I did when I was pregnant.

  • I take them and I'm pretty good at remembering. I think it's more important whilst you're pregnant but I guess I do it more for me now since LO is using up a lot of my nutrients still(?) who knows when it's more important? I think if you want to take them, then maybe try what others have said and keep them next to somewhere you will see them at the same time each day? Also keep water next to them! I'm useless if my water isn't there and I see them....
  • I think they are a security net if you happen to fall short on nutrients in your diet. That's how I see them anyway. I think while pregnant and breastfeeding they help make sure there's enough nutrients available to support both of you. If you have a good healthy diet you probably don't need them but if you don't eat so well, I say they are a good fall back.
  • My OB and pedi both told me to continue to take them. My DH puts them out on a plate next to my breakfast in the morning.

  • I'm horrible at remembering. I took one last night but that was probably the first one in 3 weeks :(

  • I take mine because I apparently have a fear of osteoporosis and in my head that is what I will end up with if I don't take them. (Based on absolutly no science whatsoever)

    But vitamin deficency isn't something I ever want to see problems from later down the road.
  • I always take them right before bed when I take my allergy meds. It's become a habit which makes it super easy to remember.

  • I rarely remember to take my prenatals (I'm lucky if it's once a week). I need to, I have a huge bottle still!
