Looking for the right vitamin that you can safely use during breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding requires a lot of energy from the mother's body. Breastfeeding is something magical. A baby that grows like a weed purely on the milk from your breasts. The composition of breast milk that changes with your baby.
In addition to healthy and varied food and drinks, a good breastfeeding multivitamin can provide the perfect support.
Are vitamins and minerals extra important when breastfeeding?
We can be very brief about this. Yes! When you breastfeed, your need for iodine and zinc, for example, is almost doubled and you also need more iron. This also applies to folic acid, vitamin A and vitamin C.
Just like during pregnancy, you need 400mg of folic acid during breastfeeding. A good multivitamin during breastfeeding is the way to get these different vitamins and minerals in the right and safe dosage. At Ovabalance you will find all the vitamins you need during breastfeeding.

Omega-3 after giving birth during breastfeeding
During breastfeeding, your baby gets fatty acids through your milk. The fatty acid composition of breast milk is highly dependent on the mother's diet.
Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the development of normal brain function in the foetus as well as in breastfed babies.
Ovabalance Omega 3 is vegan and therefore free of fish oil. No problem with a nasty fishy taste but the benefits of the fatty acids.
Magnesium during breastfeeding
During breastfeeding, your body needs magnesium even more than during pregnancy. The daily amount of magnesium you need is no less than 390 mg. Pay attention to this in your diet and/or opt for a magnesium supplement.
