Vitamin supplements during lactation

A breastfeeding mother needs to have a healthy and strong body so that the baby can be healthy and strong after consuming milk from the breastfeeding mother. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers need to supplement various nutrients, such as vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin B, etc. So what are the channels for supplementing vitamins during breastfeeding? How can we take various vitamins more conveniently? Let us share with you in detail below.

(1) Vitamin A. Only found in animal foods: animal liver, cod liver oil, milk, eggs. However, the carotene in plants can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. Various types of carotene are found in green leafy vegetables, yellow vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, rapeseed, pea sprouts, green peppers, broccoli, carrots, pumpkin, fungus, apricots, persimmons, etc. When consumed together with fat, it can promote the body's absorption of vitamin A.

(2) Vitamin B1. Foods containing vitamin B include polished round-grained rice, flour, peanuts, milk, beans, nuts, animal hearts, celery leaves, asparagus, etc. Cereals also contain vitamin Bi, but fine processing can easily destroy vitamin Bi, so grains should not be eaten too finely, and you can also get corresponding nutrition by choosing coarse grains.

(3) Vitamin B2. Foods containing vitamin B2 include animal liver, eggs, milk, soybeans, sesame seeds, Chinese mustard, rapeseed, spinach, celery, etc.

(4) Vitamin B6. Foods containing vitamin B6 include beef, chicken, fish, animal offal, oats, wheat bran, corn, soybeans, mung beans, walnuts, carrots, mushrooms, etc.

Foods rich in vitamin C are mainly fruits and vegetables, such as cabbage, rapeseed, Chinese mustard, eggplant, green pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, coriander, tomato, date, citrus, apple, grapefruit, orange, lemon, hawthorn, kiwi, etc. Fruits and vegetables must be kept fresh to avoid loss of vitamin C.
