My baby is 7 days old and I am TIRED. Mind you I had a c-section and am building my iron which was low after birth. To aviod depletion of my energy while breastfeeding (I plan to breastfeed for many many many months yet).. should I do multi viatmin or prenatal? I don't want iron supplements as that is consitpating.

Just stick with the prenatal one's you've been taking and get as much rest as possible.... Also, increase your fluids and calorie intake 500 cal.. that will help you breastfeed and keep up energy for yourself.. Good luck...

You can continue to take the prenatal vitamins you were on 9 times out of 10 they are for lactating and breastfeeding mothers also..Congrats on the new baby.

I am currently taking my prenatal vitamin and Brewer's Yeast. The brewer's yeast helps me get extra B vitamins and gives me a lot more energy. Taking the Brewer's yeast in pill form is best.

The same prenatals you took when you were pregnant (make sure that they have DHA and ARA in them)
