Breastfeeding / New Mom Bundle

Being a new mom is such a whirlwind of feeling joy, excitement, gratitude, exhaustion and overwhelm.

You don’t need extra stress wondering what supplements you need. The ones that will REALLY help you are:

Vitamin D - this is critical and levels can run low during pregnancy and in breastfeeding. Low Vit D increases risk of infections due to weakened immune function. You don’t have time to feel run down right? You also don’t want to give your baby a cough or cold and vice versa! I’ve had a few patients over the years actually have wrist fractures shortly after delivering their baby. They’re low on Vit D, running around and take a tumble whilst trying to pick up after babies and toddlers. Protect your immune function and bones by taking Vitamin D.

Add in Vitamin B12 too. B12 also runs low due to increased demand during pregnancy. It’s water soluble so it's also lost in breastmilk. Vitamin B12 is key for energy, your immune and nervous system. Vitamin B12 reduces tiredness and fatigue.

Omegas support skin and hair. Most moms feel somewhat depleted after pregnancy with dull hair and skin. It’s low on the priority list when caring for a new baby but it’s worth starting omegas support skin and hair health if it’s getting you down. They’re so important for breastfeeding moms. Omegas support brain development of breastfed babies.
