Brief Answer:
Avoid taking iron while breast feeding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
During breast feeding it is better to avoid taking iron supplements as it can cause constipation in the baby. Right now you need calcium supplements to replenish the calcium sources in your body. You can take tablets like Corcium C with milk twice a day.
After you stop the breast feeding and you resume your normal periods then you can take the iron supplement- Fericip once a day with water after meals.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
