Vitamin complexes during lactation. What are vitamins for? Characteristics of vitamin complexes

Do you need vitamins for HS?

Nursing mothers need twice as much nutrients for the body as other women. The food consumed during lactation fully affects the well-being of the child. Nutrients enter the mother's blood, which, after interacting with lymph, forms milk, which is necessary for the growth and development of the baby.

In the process of breastfeeding, a woman depletes her own reserves, and needs to be replenished. If this is not done, then after childbirth, the mother may have bald patches, thinning of the nail plates, and deterioration of the condition of the skin and teeth. Then the doctor prescribes vitamin and mineral complexes that correspond to the indicators of the mother's tests.

Known children's doctor Evgeny Komarovsky is convinced that vitamins for HS are necessary only for acute deficiency certain substances (unbalanced diet or vitamin deficiency of the mother and child). Therefore, a woman who eats properly does not need them.

Myths about vitamins for nursing moms

Many refuse to accept vitamin complexes as it is a product of synthetic origin. There are various rumors about the enrichment of the female body with vitamin and mineral substances during lactation. If you believe the following myths, you can cause irreparable harm to the mother, child:

1. The more vitamins a woman receives, the better for her and her baby. Actually this is not true. The body of a nursing mother needs a certain amount of certain elements. She receives most of them with food, and therefore, before using drugs, it is important to consult with a doctor, to pass tests that will reveal their shortage. On this basis, the appointment of vitamin and mineral complexes occurs.
2. The child receives vitamins from the mother's food. In fact, the composition of breast milk is formed from the elements contained in the breastfeeding blood. If they are not enough, it means that milk ceases to have certain properties, therefore, the crumbs may begin to deteriorate in the functioning of the immune, nervous system.
3. Taking vitamins cannot be harmful. The uncontrolled use of multivitamins can cause the development of hypervitaminosis, both in the mother and in the baby. To rule out this situation, it is important to consult your doctor before using them.
4. Vitamins - best remedy from hypovitaminosis. To some extent, this is true, however, it is worth considering the fact that many drugs are among the drugs that can only be prescribed by a doctor. Even the use of dietary supplements should be monitored by specialists, since an overdose condition is fraught with a deterioration in the child's well-being.

Vitamins should be taken throughout the entire GV period. All drugs are used in courses that last no more than four weeks. During the lactation period, there may be several of them according to the doctor's prescription.

The fact that a newborn baby should be fed with breast milk, expectant mothers hear from doctors from the very moment they turn to them for the first time about the alleged pregnancy. Thanks to natural feeding, the baby receives all the necessary elements for growth and development. But in order for the baby to eat properly, milk must be enriched with useful components. That is why vitamins for mom are what will help a woman long time to feed the child not to the detriment of their own health.

Mom's milk - protection against diseases

Breast milk is constantly being studied, because attempts to create an absolutely identical natural nutrition for babies do not stop, although they have not yet led to a 100% result. Nature allowed the mother to become the main protection of the newborn baby from diseases, a support in the development of both physical and mental. Mother's milk is a balanced pantry of everything a baby needs to feed. But after all, it is important for a woman to preserve her health in order to give what is needed to the baby and remain full of strength herself.

The process of formation of a secret in the mammary glands of a woman is laid even during pregnancy, although it first appears immediately after childbirth. It's about colostrum. Scientists have found that the secret of the mammary glands of a woman who has just given birth is more similar in composition to blood than milk. In this substance great amount albumins, globulins, selenium and zinc, vitamins A, E, which are natural antioxidants. One of the properties of colostrum is a slight indulgence, which helps the newborn to get rid of meconium faster. After 4-5 days, it becomes the so-called transitional milk, and after another 2.5-3 weeks it ripens. Only after this time infant sucks mature milk.

At all stages of change, the secret of the mammary glands of a woman has the ability to maintain the immunity of the newborn. But in order for breast milk to meet all the standards and help the baby to develop, a woman must take care of herself. Therefore, a complex of vitamins for nursing mothers is a necessary supplement for the entire lactation period. In the vast majority of cases, pharmaceutical preparations contain a multicomponent set of useful, important and necessary substances. Both doctors and lactating women themselves leave mostly positive reviews about vitamins for mothers, because the health and well-being of the child is a vivid proof of the effectiveness of the measures taken for proper lactation.

Doctor Komarovsky

What should be the vitamins for breastfeeding for mom?

Self-administration of medications is undesirable, it is necessary to get a doctor's recommendation in order to start drinking vitamins, seemingly harmless at first glance. Hypervitaminosis - the same serious problem as well as vitamin deficiency - deficiency nutrients in organism. According to Dr. Komarovsky, you should take vitamin and mineral complexes for nursing mothers only in three cases:

• poor nutrition of the mother both during pregnancy and after the birth of the baby;
• confirmed by test results;
• identified deficiency of valuable trace elements in women who are breastfeeding.

The main way to get everyone essential vitamins for a breastfeeding woman and her baby - balanced diet. Special attention Evgeny Olegovich points out in his lectures the need to use the "sun vitamin". Taking vitamin D for a nursing mother will prevent the development of such a disease in a child as rickets.

This is perhaps the only vitamin that cannot be obtained from the outside without sufficient supply of sunlight.

Vitamins on the menu

All specialists dealing with the health of women and children believe that a woman who is just thinking about having a baby should carefully consider her diet. After all, a balanced diet will allow the body to receive all the important and required elements how to carry healthy pregnancy and feeding the child with full-value nutritious milk. Vitamins for breastfeeding for mothers are only help in some cases. It is best to get everything you need from food, such as:

• legumes;
• greens;
• meat (lean);
• vegetables;
• a fish;
• fruits.

The menu can be simple, but useful and tasty, the main thing is to pay a little more attention to its preparation. But if, for some reason, a woman is unable to eat well, one should seek the advice of a specialist to select a vitamin and mineral complex. A woman, undoubtedly, should take into account the peculiarities of her health, remember, for example, about the intolerance of certain products, the propensity for an allergic reaction to any components. About the individual characteristics of your body, you should notify the doctor leading the pregnancy, and then the pediatrician, in order to get adequate advice on additional use vitamins for mothers.

What do moms say?

For many women, the basis for replenishing the body with valuable trace elements during breastfeeding is vitamins for the mother. Reviews of such funds are usually positive. With proper selection, vitamin and mineral complexes bring real benefits. Yes, it is extremely rare that there are negative responses in which women complain about any drug that caused heartburn or rashes. But most often the cause of resentment is individual intolerance. The rating of drugs was given above, but which one to choose - the doctor will advise.

Taking vitamins while breastfeeding for mom - important condition in order to give your child quality nutrition in the form of breast milk, enriched with all the necessary microelements, and at the same time preserve his health, beauty and strength.

Not everyone can afford fresh vegetables, herbs and fruits grown in their region. all year round... To avoid complications, replenish the supply of necessary elements, you can additionally take vitamins for nursing mothers.

The child will receive everything he needs and will not get sick if the mother eats properly and fully.

If there is a suspicion that vitamins and minerals are not enough, the home menu should be analyzed:

• it is dominated by bakery products;
• every day during the week one of the main dishes is pasta or potatoes;
• different vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, cereals are rarely used?

If so, then we can confidently talk about the lack of nutrients in the diet.

Another signal will be the well-being of the mother herself. If her hair falls out, her nails begin to exfoliate, her skin turns pale, weakness appears, "flies fly before her eyes" - all this alarming symptoms lack of trace elements and vitamins necessary for vital functions.

If the baby is not gaining weight well, is weak and irritable, inactive, too pale, this is a reason to consult a pediatrician about the mother's nutrition. In all of the above cases, you should consult a doctor, get tested and purchase multivitamins according to the prescribed prescription.

There is no need to buy additional drugs if:

• mom and baby feel good, eat varied and balanced;
• every day during the week, there are dishes prepared from fresh products on the table;
• the diet includes: fish, lean meat, liver, various cereals, legumes (beans, peas, soybeans, chickpeas and others), red, yellow, green vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds, berries, cottage cheese and other dairy products.

In addition to food, the importance of a daily walk should be noted. Vitamin D is produced on its own only under ultraviolet rays... To do this, you should be under the sun for at least 15 minutes every day.

What vitamins affect what

Making up for real useful menu for a mother with a baby, all the necessary elements should be included in it. Let's take a closer look at which vitamins and minerals are important for breastfeeding:

• Vitamin A - the baby needs to form a strong skeleton, excellent vision... It is necessary for mom to restore health, improve the condition of hair and skin.
• Vitamin B1 is important for the development of the child's nervous system. It will also help mom to improve metabolism.
• Vitamin B2 - Required for healthy liver function and iron absorption. It is needed in sufficient quantity so that the mother and baby do not develop iron deficiency anemia.
• Vitamin B6 - is important element the development of the child's spinal cord and brain, the formation of the nervous system. It will help a woman look young and fresh, maintain vascular health.
• Vitamin B 12 - is needed for the baby to develop strong immunity, hematopoiesis, and memory development. A mother who wants to restore normal weight during breastfeeding cannot do without it.
• Vitamin D - will help the baby to avoid, as it is responsible for the absorption of calcium and other nutrients in the body. Needed by a nursing mother for the prevention of diseases of teeth, nails and hair loss. In addition, it is an important element for the work of the heart and blood vessels.
• Vitamin E - essential for excellent lactation and youthfulness to a woman. It will help the baby to strengthen the peripheral blood supply and heart.
• Vitamin P - also good for health blood vessels.
• Vitamin C - gives strength to the still fragile children's immunity, helps to cope with inflammation. It is necessary for a woman to assimilate iron, actively remove toxins from the body, "stands guard" of youth and beauty.

Trace elements are useful for the mother and are necessary for the baby, since they are involved in the structure and growth of the whole organism: they form bone tissue, nervous and circulatory system, form hemoglobin, synthesize proteins, are responsible for the work of all internal organs. Without a sufficient amount of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, iodine, potassium, it is impossible to imagine good nutrition for a child of any age. And especially in the first year of life.

For a mother on HB, the use of trace elements in a slightly higher dosage than usual is associated not only with providing the baby with vital elements for his growth and healthy development. She needs it to recover from childbirth. Therefore, it is important to include vitamins and minerals in the menu not only for the period of breastfeeding, but also after HB.

How to take synthetic vitamins correctly?

If the doctor has prescribed a complex drug, you should remember about the safety of its use during lactation.

• Mom should not take medications for hepatitis B all the time. You can drink them in a course of 2-3 weeks, and repeat if necessary. Both vitamins and minerals enter the body with food. Some of them are consumed by the body immediately, while the other part is accumulated. If there are too many elements "for future use" - they can cause a serious metabolic failure. Hypervitaminosis (excess) is no less dangerous than a lack of vitamins, and requires treatment.
• Taking vitamins and minerals is not a complex, but separately - not best idea, because in this case it is easy to make a mistake with the dosage. For example, taking more vitamin C than needed can provoke allergies in your baby. Excessive intake of calcium slows down the absorption of iron by the body, this lowers the level of hemoglobin and, as a result, negatively affects immunity and development. If you take a "harmless" vitamin while breastfeeding a lot and for a long time, the child and mother may experience systemic health disorders.
• The recommended dose should be observed. If the doctor prescribes the drug in a dosage of 1 capsule once a day, you do not need to drink more - "just in case", again, so as not to provoke an overdose.
• It is best to take the drug as indicated in the annotation. If you eat a pill on an empty stomach, at best, all the elements will not be absorbed properly, at worst, irritation of the walls of the stomach and intestines will begin.

In any case, you should consult with the doctor who prescribed the drug, and clarify the rules of admission and timing.

Natural feeding allows you to establish psychological contact between the mother and the child, therefore it is extremely important to organize the lactation process in such a way that it benefits both the baby and the mother. Very often, due to the depletion of a woman's body, the child no longer has enough nutrients contained in milk. What to do in such cases? Vitamin complexes are able to correct this situation, but the question arises - is it possible to drink vitamins while breastfeeding.

The consequences of a lack of vitamins

The female body after childbirth is exhausted and weakened. This unsatisfactory state of the immune system can lead to many undesirable consequences. It is during this period that the body becomes susceptible to various infections and causative agents of many diseases.

Also, as a result of a lack of vitamins, many women are faced with:

• excessive hair loss;
• stratification of nails;
• fragility and crumbling of teeth.

That is why a woman needs an additional source containing minerals and vitamins during lactation, which will help replenish their reserves and ensure the normal functioning of all body systems.

Debunking the Vitamin Myths for Hepatitis B

Very often, women are faced with erroneous opinions about how to take the drug and what vitamins can be used with breastfeeding. Let's take a look at some of them.

You need to take a double dose of vitamins

It is a misconception that during pregnancy and lactation a woman needs to consume vitamins “for two”.

Indeed, the entire spectrum of nutrients should be present in her diet, but their daily requirement does not double. It should be noted that for good nutrition, they are completely absorbed from food.

Lack of vitamins affects milk quality

Experimental studies show that the composition of milk in women is approximately the same in areas of Africa with poor nutrition, and in developed European countries.

With a lack of vitamins in milk, female body uses its own reserves, therefore, a balanced diet, first of all, has an impact on a woman's health.

Vitamins can be taken by everyone, they are absolutely safe

Vitamin preparations are complete medicines, which are prescribed for vitamin deficiency.

Taken unnecessarily, they can lead to hypervitaminosis - extremely dangerous condition with the following undesirable consequences:

• disruption of the normal functioning of the kidneys and urinary system;
• increased pressure;
• fragility of bone tissue;
• signs of intoxication;
• osteoporosis.

So, in areas with a lack of iodine in the water, it is recommended to use iodized salt, but in the areas located in the seaside zone, this is not necessary. That is why women who want to know: is vitamin C possible with breastfeeding, it is recommended to contact a specialist for appropriate advice.

Vitamins are consumed during the nursing period without interruption.

No and no again! This approach can provoke the development of hypervitaminosis and many side effects.

Usually one course of admission lasts about 2-3 weeks; if necessary, it can be repeated after a while.

How to take it right

Before taking the vitamin complex, you should read the instructions for the drug and make sure that there are no contraindications. Also, deciding on the consumption of a medication, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules.

Do not exceed dosage

Do not take multiple drugs at the same time

Excessive vitamin A in the body threatens the development of jaundice and other liver problems, and vitamin D - brain disorders. You should also refuse to take various dietary supplements of dubious origin.

A competent specialist will prescribe the drug only after a confirmed vitamin deficiency.

Usually, the problem is eliminated due to the organization of various and good nutrition... But, if a woman still needs an additional source of vitamins, then the choice of the drug is carried out in conjunction with the doctor.
