Which calcium and iron supplements are suitable after having a baby by cesarean section?
Asked by Female, 33 · 2 months ago
After a caesarean section, your doctor may usually advise continuing the calcium and iron supplements you took during pregnancy to support recovery and prevent anaemia. Common options include an iron supplement, such as Ferrous Fumarate, and a calcium supplement with vitamin D3, such as Calcitriol. Always follow the specific supplements and dosages recommended by your doctor to ensure they are safe for you and compatible with breastfeeding.
