Supplements while breastfeeding
Dear Doctor,
I have just delivered a baby and wanted to know what all prenatal vitamins I should be having while exclusively breastfeeding. Please share as my doctor is unavailable due to covid.
Also can we take any protein powder and collagen supplement also while lactating, please suggest the same also.
