TheraNatal Lactation Complete Postnatal Vitamin Supplement - 13-Week Supply - Breastfeeding Supplement for Women - NSF Certified - 182 Tablets & 91 Softgels

I live in the northern US, so worry about vitamin D levels for my babies. Our pediatrician always recommends supplementing our breastfed babies with oral vitamin D drops until they start table food. This was the most comprehensive lactation vitamin I could find, it met my need for an MTHFR friendly folate source, and was honestly much better-priced than most of what I found. I took this supplement the entire time my first (now 3 years old) nursed, and I was able to avoid supplementing him! Our pediatrician checked his blood levels at 3-4 months and said he was getting adequate supplementation through me. I'm now doing the same for my 2 month old. We'll get her blood levels checked soon, too, but I'm confident we'll have the same good results! No fishy burps or stomach upset, and my calcium levels are adequate to prevent bone decalcification (monitored due to arthritis and related concerns). My iron levels are great, too, and I'm usually anemic.

I’m feeling pretty good and making lots of milk so no complaints there. I find the blister packs easy to open-I push the hard vitamins through and peel back the foil to get the oil supplement out. Easy peasy.

I spent so much time looking for the perfect postnatal vitamins with everything I need without having to get a ton of different bottles and by far these are the best! Everything comes in one package, at a good price for such high quality vitamins! I have noticed a huge difference in the quantity and quality of my milk too! I recommend these to anyone I know that just gave birth and are nursing, they have been a HUGE help in my postpartum life and I’m so grateful for the lactation support these provide. I find the packaging super helpful especially if you travel a lot or like having them in your purse these are perfect! No buldgy bottles and the days already written on the packaging

Somewhat expensive. The vitamins themselves seem fine, no complaints there. But the packaging? Absolutely terrible. I honestly cannot get over how frustrating it is. Who thought it was a good idea to make something this difficult for already busy, exhausted new moms to deal with every single day? It feels like the company didn’t think this through at all. On top of that, the vitamin D gel capsule practically melts into the packaging, which makes it damn near impossible to get out without destroying it. The whole setup is just unnecessary hassle. Theralogix, please figure out a better system. Until then, I’m not sure I can justify sticking with this brand.

Great for postpartum! I shed less hair when using these. I used it with my 3rd baby and I noticed a difference.

UPDATED TAKE 2 (4/18/24): The box I had on hand which had a later expiration date (9/2024) also failed before the expiration date. The company does not care. I have gotten the run around. So, I submitted to the BBB. I wish I would have read up on their company on the BBB before purchasing. You would think they would want to know the problems of a certain product and LOT; that something in production is not working. Sadly, they do not care. So, that right there is a reason to be VERY skeptical of the quality of all their products. Updated: made a review of product failure. No contact from seller. Called direct to manufacturer as listed on box, explained situation, gave Lot and expiration date. I am still waiting to hear back after two weeks. DO NOT BUY THESE. COMPANY DOES NOT CARE. This lot has failed. I have three left but I was taking them like this for a while until they started looking even worse. The supplements are splitting while still in the packaging. I would like to receive a refund for these. Otherwise these have been great. I have one more package that expires in 9/2024; they look ok for now.

Not sure who thought it was a good idea to give sleep deprived postpartum women the most difficult packaging ever. The product seems great and comprehensive while not leaving a weird aftertaste. However I hate crying everyday because I can’t open the darn thing.

I’ve been using these for 4 months now and think they are a quality postnatal supplement - especially since I don’t have to use a separate vitamin D supplement for my baby. However, I’ve ordered these twice from Amazon and now understand everyone’s problem with the packaging. The first order (red gel capsule) was fine and easy to peel open, no issues. The second order (yellow gel capsule) is terribly difficult to maneuver - I’ve even cut myself trying to rip the plastic from the covering. Not sure why the difference in pill colors and packaging issues? Will probably continue to use because they are a quality supplement, but packaging is definitely hit or miss.
