dizziness and vitamins

i'm 8 and a half weeks pp, i started feeling dizzy and lightheaded a few days ago and it's reaaly bad today, i bf so people told me it could be low iron levels.

In my 6 weeks follow up my doctor gave me 2 pills, 1 is vitamin D3 the other is D3 + calcium. Can i just go back to my prenatal vitamins? They had everything including iron.

I tried to get myself an appt when i take DD for vaccination but couldn't get 1 and i dont want to take her back to the hospital just for me

    I don't see why you can't go back to taking your prenatals. I was told to continue taking mine while bf'ing until I run out then to switch to a regular multivitamin although I may just continue with the prenatals.

    I also get dizziness a lot. My doc suggested to drink more water. Apparently you need more water breastfeeding then when pregnant and it is definitely a struggle for me. Also my doc said to keep taking prenatals until I stop breastfeeding.

    I find the dizziness eases up if I get anything close to a good night's sleep (in my case, that means 7 hours chopped up into three chunks between 8pm and 8am).
