Vitamins recommendations for express bf mums?

I am looking for recommendations for vitamins to take for myself. I mainly express and then bottle feed and was taking the last of my pregnancy gummies but now not sure what to take for my overall health. Finding myself quite tired and lathergic even though I have quite an easy laid back baby 😅

I take a multivitamin, vitamin d, iron, and folic acid. Yes I'm just making expensive pee but at least I know I'm giving my body the opportunity to absorb what's needed. I did look at breastfeeding vitamins but they're ridiculously priced

I take Superdrug pregnancy and breast feeding vitamins and omega 3,6 and 9

I also exclusively express and I take oregnancare bf ones. On a separate note, how much expressed milk does your little one have?

@Samantha about 23oz across the 24 hours. Sometimes a bit more sometimes less. What about yours? Xx

Thank you for your suggestions I'll take a look 😊

@Samantha it can range to about 25-30oz a day, maybe a bit more. I've found that he is wanting more this past week though so I've had to top up with formula. I'm away this week but hoping to start try expressing more next week to try and produce more 🤞if not I will start to combi feed, how about yours?

@Rabia between 800-1000ml

@Carla between 800-1000ml a day. I pump around 930ml a day so I give 1 formula a day now

@Samantha I am also giving 1 formula a day, glad to see that others are doing that too and I'm not doing it wrong 😅
