How to Infants Get Their Vitamins?

This blog is dedicated to my new nephew, Ari! Ari was born on Wednesday and I am very excited to meet him next week. On the topic of new born babies, I was interested to see how from the start of life we get our vitamins!

The amount and type of vitamins found in breast milk is directly related to the mother's vitamin intake. Therefore, it is important that the mother takes care of herself and in turn she'll be taking care of her baby!

Mothers want to make sure they are getting a balanced diet with fat-soluble vitamins, such as A, D, E, and K and water-soluble vitamins, such as C, pantothenic acid, riboflavin and niacin.

Since this is so important, some doctors may keep new mothers on their pre-natal vitamins, however, there are also post-natal vitamins made specifically for this cause as well. Make sure to ask your doctor how to keep your baby healthy from the start.
