I had a bottle left and I'm nursing, so I'm still taking them...
how long did you take them pp, if at all?
-
I'm 11 months postpartum and am nursing, so I'm still taking them. I'll take them until I'm done nursing.
-
I took them the whole time I was nursing. Will do the same this time!
-
uggggh I should be since I'm still nursing but I stopped at some point and fell out of the habit...I really should be getting back into it anyway since we're also going to be ttc sometime soonish!
-
I also take them while I am nursing.
-
@nana87: Yea I never kept up while nursing ds1. I really didn't even know you should until HB!
-
@mrsjyw: my ob told me to still take them while nursing so I have no excuse! I just hate taking them! I'm terrible at remembering and the dha supplement leaves a terrible aftertaste even though I'm swallowing it.
-
Oops I stopped taking them! Why are they important to take while nursing?
-
@NovBaby1112: I think the baby gets the nutrients through our milk. DS1 is a 99%+ though so I'm not all momguilt about not taking them while nursing him though!
-
@NovBaby1112: my doc said just to take any vitamin while nursing. Not necessarily prenatal vitamins.
-
I just take a regular multi
-
I didn't stop till I quit nursing, per my OB's recommendation.
-
I couldn't even take them while pregnant but actually I'm doing better now so maybe I should try. I'm only pumping a very little bit and planning to 100% ff soon though. But I remember they made my nails really strong my first pregnancy!
@NovBaby1112: what @mrsjyw: said but my OB has always said baby will take what he needs, the vitamins are more for mom to stay healthy.
-
I took them religiously for as long as I was nursing (till 9 mo). I still take them randomly since I have this one bottle..
-
I continue to take them while nursing LO#2. I did the same for for LO#1. It also helped when I started losing my hair pp.
-
My OB suggested as long as I was nursing...my family Dr said there is basically no harm in prenatals so he recommends all his patients take prenatals until they decide they are done having children...so I have taken mine since 10/2012 through now...(currently pregnant)
-
@mrsjyw: @hellobeeboston: @2littlepumpkins: thanks! Good to know!
-
I'm still taking them and a DHA supplement. I will continue b/c I'm nursing and we're NTNP.
-
I completely forgot to take them once DS was born and I nursed for a year. Woooops. Taking them again now while pregnant.
-
It's part of my nightly routine! I got into the habit of taking them before bed since they used to upset my stomach if I took it any other time when I was first pregnant with DS1. Now I just keep them on my nightstand along with my water bottle and it's one of the last things I do. I plan on taking prenatals until I'm done nursing and then will continue the habit with another multi vitamin.
-
I took them until I stopped nursing and started up again since it flu season and I had them (and not a general multi-vitamin).
-
Yep, I'm still nursing, so I take them. I want to get pregnant soon, so I don't think I'll stop taking them.
