Breastfeeding Question……..?
I am exclusively breastfeeding my 4 month old daughter. Even though I try to eat healthy, I usually don’t. My question is, should I give her a vitamin supplement or do you think that she should be okay. She is gaining weight fine and I know that she is getting plenty. I still take my prenatal vitamin also. Should that be enough or should I give her a vitamin knowing that I don’t have the most healthy diet?
Your milk won’t change in quality unless you are severely malnourished. She doesn’t need any supplements. The vitamins in supplements are far more difficult for her to utilize than those in your milk.
