When should I stop taking my prenatal? Currently 4 weeks pp and breastfeeding

Answer

As others said, the recommendation is until your done breastfeeding.

Answer

Continue to take it throughout your breastfeeding journey

Answer

Until you stop breastfeeding

Answer

Honestly, if you’re of child-bearing age and it’s POSSIBLE you could become pregnant, it’s best to stay on them and you definitely want to keep at it during breastfeeding because you still need the extra help for you and baby while you’re providing them with nutrients in any way. The most important time to be well-nourished and up on your levels is during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. If you weren’t on them for a couple months before that, you may or may not be deficient in a lot of the nutrients that baby needs in those early developmental stages and that presents a much greater risk of birth defects like spins bodies, cleft lip and palate, heart defects, etc. (sonographer here) Any decent doc would tell you that you should be on prenatals at least 3 months before conception and through the end of breastfeeding. I’ll  personally be taking them non-stop til menopause, better safe than sorry.
