Good but expensive
As a new mum I really struggle to find time to eat well and know that my body will sooner pull itself apart to ensure my baby gets what she needs. Hence taking these to help protect myself. If they somehow boost my breast milk and help my baby too thats a bonus. It might just be physiological but I do feel better when I take them. That said they are a rip off!
Useful product
Useful to have everything in one box, but please be aware that taking a supplement with calcium in at the same time as one with iron in will mean that it is much harder for the iron to be absorbed into your body. If you especially need the extra iron it may be better to take separate supplements at different times of day.
