When we’re pregnant, I feel like we hear so much information about what we should and shouldn’t eat. We need more folate, more choline, more iron, etc. All of these are important for us to know so we can be proactive and have a healthy pregnancy and raise a healthy baby. But have you heard a lot about your nutritional needs after giving birth? I don’t have that. And this is one of the moments in life when you need it more Vitamins and nutrients for your body to support your recovery and nourish your baby.
