Breastfeeding Supplements

Essential Vitamins to Take While Breastfeeding

Ensuring you have the right levels of important vitamins and minerals for both you and your baby is vital whilst feeding them. Your little one derives vital nutrients from you, your diet, and any breastfeeding supplements you take.

There are 6 key nutrients breastfeeding mums need. It’s vital you receive the recommended levels to avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies. BetterYou’s breastfeeding vitamins include:

• Vitamin D - Breast milk is known for having low levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D supplementation helps you provide the required daily dose, to aid in preventing low bone density. It is also recommended that those under 12 months may require essential vitamin D, whether you supplement or not.
• Vitamin B12 - B12 is a natural energy supplement, important for breastfeeding parents. As a vitamin for breastfeeding, vitamin B supplements aid normal physiological function and energy release.
• Iron - Iron supplements help mothers to stave off anaemia, which can help to reduce tiredness, which every new parent needs!
• Magnesium - Magnesium plays a role in the production of breast milk, making magnesium supplements vital during breastfeeding to see magnesium benefits.
• Calcium - Calcium is a bone supplement, used to promote strong and healthy bones and teeth. Keeping levels up with breastfeeding supplements helps to protect your bone density.
• Zinc - Zinc is needed during lactation to help meet your baby’s needs and taking a zinc supplement will help boost your levels.

Taking daily food supplements, approved for breastfeeding, is an easy way to make sure you both get the nutrients you need!
