A Comprehensive Postnatal Multivitamin Designed to Meet the Unique Nutritional Needs of Breastfeeding Moms
Nursing Postnatal provides comprehensive vitamin and mineral support, including 100% Daily Value of several vitamins and minerals, and extra amounts of key vitamins known to be especially important for lactating women, including Vitamin D and the B vitamins.
In recognition of a growing body of research that points to widespread Vitamin D deficiency among adults and children, Nursing Postnatal includes 700% Daily Value of Vitamin D (2800 IU). Once believed to be important only for bone health, recent research has revealed the critical role that Vitamin D plays in the prevention and treatment of a wide array of conditions, including high blood pressure, osteoporosis, depression, obesity, seasonal affective disorder, prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, diabetes, rickets, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Although the current Daily Value for Vitamin D is set at only 400 IU, many experts are concerned that this amount grossly underestimates our need for Vitamin D and are recommending that all people, and especially lactating women, increase their daily intake of this key nutrient. By providing 700% Daily Value of Vitamin D, Nursing Postnatal helps to increase circulating levels of Vitamin D in nursing women, thereby ensuring that the breast milk produced by these women will have enough Vitamin D to prevent suboptimal Vitamin D status in their growing babies.
Nursing Postnatal also contains 200% Daily Value of essential B vitamins, including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. The complex of B vitamins aids in energy production, the proper function of the immune system and nervous system, and in the production of red and white blood cells. Vegetarian and vegan mothers may be at increased risk for deficiencies of vitamin B-12 because it is naturally found only in animal products. Folic acid continues to be important during nursing to aid in healthy cell production.
Similar to Nursing Blend, Nursing Postnatal contains a full complement of vitamins and minerals in just the right amounts to keep mom and baby healthy, but does not contain the herbal blend found in Nursing Blend. This breastfeeding multivitamin is intended for nursing moms looking for nutritional support who have no concerns about the quantity of the breast milk they are producing.

Felt like my body was missing something in the early days of breastfeeding. This was it. Does make my urine highlighter yellow though. Which is just excess and no biggie.

I purchased vitamins exclusively for breastfeeding mothers. Prior to taking them, I constantly felt like my body needed something, but couldnt figure out what. A few days of taking the vitamins, I didnt feel that!. I also believe these vitamins help give my infant the nutrients my poor diet lack due to his quick growth since taking them.

I read meant great reviews on this product before I purchased it and thought for sure I would be writing one of those great ones. However, for me, the product had no effect. It did not help to boost or increase my supply. It just simply didn’t do anything for me. I’m sure I’m just one of a few that this happens to.

I tried almost everything with my first baby, lactation cookies, tea, eating oatmeal and lettuce, warm shower… this is all I needed with my second child. Soon after taking the vitamins my milk supply is super generous so I take it around the time I want to pump an extra bottle. You will also get vitamins without the overload of iron from the prenatal ones.

Great customer service. These awesome vitamins managed to make it to my doorstep within 2-3 days from ordering!
The vitamins I have found to be essential after having my last little one. I find that my milk supply is better with taking these vitamins than with the prenatals I was taking. These vitamins also provide a great energy boost which I find important as I am chasing 2 under 2.

First off.. the smell everyone talks about is really not that bad. I can see how someone with a sensitive sense of smell like morning sickness could be nauseated but it doesnt smell any different than all other multi-vitamins! That was good! Also, i always get a headache with any vitamins so i took the advice i seen in some of the other reviews and take them before bed and i havent noticed any bad side effects! I HAVE noticed increased milk production, i have more energy and best of all.. the day after i take them i dont have a ravenous appetite! Usually with a breastfeeding baby and 3 other kids to chase i am always hungry but these have helped me a lot!! Will order again!
