Is it ok to discontinue Prenatal vitamins?

Question

I'm 9 weeks PP and breastfeeding. I've been still taking my prenatal vitamins but ran out yesterday. Is it ok to stop taking them? Or because I'm breastfeeding should I continue? Would regular multi vitamins work just as good?

Answer

Both my ob and son’s pediatrician told me to keep taking mine. I don’t know the difference between prenatals and regular multivitamins it I’d consult with your doctor.

Answer

I was told take the prenatals as long as I’m Bf.

Answer

Prenatal/post natal contain special supplements that pass through your breastmilk that are very very key to your baby. 
Iron
DHA
Folic acid
And a few others. Iron is VERY big for brain development too

Answer

I believe you should still continue taking what say prenatal on the bottle.

Answer

I'd say keep taking them. I quit 6 or 8 month pp and went to a regular multivitamin (still nursing). I noticed a difference in my energy levels, so I went back and I still take them. My daughter is nearly 2.
