Are multi-vitamins safe to take while breastfeeding?

Question

My son is 2 months old and I am exclusively breastfeeding him, is a multi-vitamin safe for me to take? If so, what is one that you have taken?

Answer 1

i would continue taking a prenatal vitamin just in case there is something in a multi that shouldn't be gotten by the baby or in case there is something extra in the prenatal.  my pediatrician has recommended that i continue taking prenatal vitamins for breastfeeding so the baby won't have any vitamin deficiencies.

Answer 3

I was advised to stay on the pre-natals, since b/f takes so much out of your system :)

Answer 4

I just continued taking my prenatal until I weaned my first, and I am doing the same with this one...

(That was what was advised by my boys' pediatrician.)

Answer 5

you should just keep taking a prenatal vitamin...
