Supplements for Mamas: From Pregnancy to Breastfeeding
This post contains affiliate links. If you buy through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Mama's Select sent me these bottles for free. I'm not a doctor, so please talk to your OB, midwife or lactation consultant before starting any supplement.
Why I'm sharing this list
When my milk supply was low, I didn't even know most of these existed. I can't say any of them would have changed things for me. But I wish someone had at least handed me the list.
So here it is, sooner than I got it.
Below is every bottle Mama's Select sent me, grouped by stage. For each one I've written down what the brand says it's for and how it's rated on Amazon. Those are the brand's words, not mine, and not a promise.

What the brand says: "Fish-free vegan DHA," "MTHFR friendly methylated folate," and "complete prenatal + DHA in one."
