Vitamin

As a soon-to-be mom, I’m learning to be more intentional with what I take daily. These are vitamin finds I’d keep on my pregnancy and postnatal checklist, with doctor’s approval first.

I have a very sensitive stomach and when taking these I didn’t have any issues with stomach upset, digestive changes or nausea. I’m not a huge fan of how expensive they are but most prenatal vitamins are expensive so I bit the bullet due to the clean...

If you're looking for an affordable one, this is it! I've been taking these prenatal vitamins for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The combination of folic acid and DHA gives me peace of mind knowing I’m supporting both my ...

These were great during my first trimester because I developed a strong aversion to the fake fruity flavor that gummy prenatals have. The capsules don’t really have a taste or aftertaste, and they never made me feel nauseous. I also like that these a...

These are the most enjoyable vitamins I’ve ever had. While they are a little pricey, the gummies are truly delicious. I feel good about taking these while nursing and recovering from labor. Also, I’ve taken them daily for a month and my hair loss has...

I think it is worth trying if you’re struggling with low milk supply and want a more natural option. I used it occasionally and it helped. It is Fenugreek-free (great if you or your baby don’t tolerate it). It is made with organic herbal ingredients....

I’ve been using Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula for a few weeks now, and I can already see a noticeable difference in my stretch marks. My skin feels much softer, smoother, and more hydrated. The scent is light and pleasant, not overpowering.

This band is comfortable and supportive. It is very adjustable to keep up with my growing belly. My only complaint is that the velcro is too strong. I struggle to get it on and off myself and have to have my husband help me get it apart again

I bought this at 10 weeks when I was starting to not be able to button my pants. It’s wonderful for the first and (so far) early second trimesters, as I’m not big enough yet for full on maternity pants, but I also can’t button or zip any of my old pa...

Can’t recommend enough to new moms. I kept two sets while breastfeeding - one in the freezer and one to heat up. Came in handy when clogged ducts hit. Would heat a set prior to breastfeeding and then use the cold set after for relief.
