Immune system drops while breastfeeding?
in Women's Health ·
I tend to take my prenatal vitamins whenever they cross my mind, which usually works out to about twice a week.
My immune system seems to be holding up quite well; whereas I used to find myself needing a round of antibiotics at least twice a year, I haven't needed any during this pregnancy, and even now, while breastfeeding an eleven-month-old, I’ve managed to stay healthy—knock on wood!
I can't say for certain if it's thanks to the prenatal vitamins, but my diet remains largely the same as it was before.
