By taking the prenatal you're ensuring you get all the nutrition you and your baby need, just like when pregnant, your baby is still getting everything from you, where as formula has it right in the mix.

all of my ob's and my daughters ped. and clearly DelainaN's did too.. its personal preference but you'll feel it if you don't, not to mention you need to eat literally every recommended serving of every food group to make sure you're getting the appropriate nutrition so you get the nutrition without the baby sucking it all out of you..

you'll feel the effects of it right away if you don't..you get physically drained..literally..you'll have no energy..i've breastfed two babies. still am currently

And all the papers and videos i got on breast feeding say nothing about that

[arianna92]

Well ive been told by many docs i dont

[KTowne]

you do need to keep taking your prenatal actually.

[arianna92]

U dont have to eat certain foods n u dont need to keep taking prenatal either

[KTowne]

you will notice if something upsets your babies belly, too much caffeine can do it, if i drink too much milk my little girl gets an upset stomach, spicy foods may, it all depends on you and your baby!

Just eat like you do while pregnant , and keep taking your prenatals too... But it's cool because breast milk is like snow flakes, every time you have a baby the milk is made different specifically designed for the babies needs that keeps me motivated I want the best for my baby and you definitely can't get any better then that! :)
