Immune system drops while breastfeeding?

So, I was chatting with my midwife today about those supramin supplements—you know, the ones everyone talks about? She told me they’re great, but apparently, they aren't the best choice for breastfeeding moms. For us, she said the gold standard is actually Prevenient. Anyway... I stopped taking my vitamins a little while back, and honestly? I feel absolutely wrecked lately. Just totally wiped out, exhausted, and my bones and muscles are aching like crazy. No clue why! I probably really need to get my bloodwork checked out because, man, I am feeling pretty rough right now...

She suggested Prevenient is the better route for us. Honestly... I stopped taking it a little while back, and lately, I've been feeling utterly wiped out. Just total exhaustion, aching bones, sore muscles... I'm at a loss. I probably need to get some blood work done because I really am feeling pretty rough.

OT: Your signature is wild 😂

Honestly, someone gave me the exact same advice—they told me that once I finally stopped breastfeeding, I should keep up with the Prevenient for just one more month... 😉
It actually made a huge difference for me...

I’ve really let my diet slide lately. I just eat whatever I can grab and cook whenever I actually find the time.
I stopped taking Prevenient after I had the baby, so now I’m wondering if it’s worth starting back up again. 🤷

Look, we really need to talk about this because, obviously, once you have a baby, you’re stuck breastfeeding, you aren't getting a wink of sleep, and you aren't even eating properly, so of course your body is going to feel like absolute garbage.

I was actually second-guessing whether I could take Supradyn myself while nursing. Looking at it now, what Mr. Ph. told you actually makes a lot of sense.
I can't quite recall what Mandy said... what was her take?

After reading through your experiences, I ended up picking up some more Prevenient today... I started feeling pretty wiped out lately... then I realized I was actually out of Prevenient.

Betty Nelson83, did I catch that right? Is he actually nowhere to be found in the pharmacies? Like, not a single manufacturer is carrying him at all?

They started pushing these promotional baby bundles filled with little extras, and honestly, it sent all the moms into a total shopping frenzy. 😁

I'm currently taking... If you're looking for a reliable Omega-3 syrup designed specifically for pregnancy, breastfeeding, or even kids, I’ve been checking out the Medex formula. It seems like a solid option for those who want to make sure they're getting the right nutrients during those critical stages..

So, is anyone here actually taking Pregnital?

So, I finally went ahead and picked up some Centrum Materna...

I’m on Prevenient—though, unfortunately, I don't stick to the schedule as consistently as I should—and I take a folic acid supplement every now and then. 👍

I’m burning through my BlackRock cash and there's plenty of that to buy... as for everything else, I guess I don't know!
