A pregnancy multivitamin might not be what you need, as you sound like you are taking good care of yourself and your baby. Just make sure you're eating enough calories while you're breastfeeding, and drinking plenty of water. If your mother is worried, tell her you are getting more nutrients and vitamins from eating an apple than you would from taking a pill!

I dont think so, just don't take to many.

If your diet is healthy, you don't need vitamins. Ask your doctor. Then you can tell your mother that your doctor says you don't need them, which should satisfy her.
