Hi there...
Understand your anxiety.
But, if it's been only one month since your delivery, please relax and give it time... You will most definitely NOT 🚫 go bald!!
It's Ok to take the MV tabs and should not have much bearing on your baby and lactation 🍼. Do confirm with your treating Gynecologist for best outcomes.
A good balanced diet rich in protein will be useful. If perchance you are a non vegetarian by choice or preference, suggest "Paya soup" (trotters) as a good nutrition supplement to your diet to help with the weakness.
Remember to stay well hydrated at all times.
Next Steps
INSTANT ONLINE Consultation can be opted for should you still feel anxious as sometimes speaking to someone empathetic may just be what the doc ordered 🙏
Health Tips
For now, KISS (keep it simple silly) should be your motto and go with natural products even if tempted as things will settle down inside 2-3 months post partum.
