Protect your health while breastfeeding with this comprehensive postnatal multivitamin.
Nursing Postnatal is a comprehensive multivitamin for breastfeeding mothers to maintain their own health and produce nutritious breast milk—because you’re still eating for two!
Producing breast milk takes extra calories and nutrients. To maintain their own health and produce nutritious breast milk, breastfeeding mothers need to be sure to eat a well-balanced and calorie-rich diet, stay adequately hydrated, and get plenty of rest. How easy is that when you’re a new mother? Not!
As a result, doctors recommend that breastfeeding moms supplement with a good multivitamin. Often, a new mother will simply continue taking the prenatal vitamin she used during her pregnancy. Unfortunately, most prenatal vitamins do not contain enough of the specific nutrients that lactating women need to ensure health of both mother and baby.
Nursing Postnatal Breastfeeding Multivitamin was designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of breastfeeding mothers. It 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 breastfeeding mothers, including Vitamin D and the B vitamins.
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.

Hair thicker, nails longer and stronger, milk supply has increased (although I do take alfalfa for chlorophyll also). My breasts felt heavier and fuller about 2-3 days after starting these. Will reorder.

I wanted something with higher Vitamin D since most breastfed infants are deficient. I used this supplement with my first 3 years ago and now using it again with my second! I honestly noticed a difference when I forget to take them! No aftertaste, easy to swallow, and gives me life! You can’t beat the price and fast shipping!

I started to take this and noticed the fatness of my milk increase within 24 hours. I do feel like it help me produce a little bit more as well. They taste and smell terrible but its not a deal breaker.

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 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.
