Feeling drained after having a baby?
Low iron is common during postpartum and can quietly affect your energy, focus and overall recovery. That's why we are sharing some of the more common signs to watch for - from fatigue and brain fog to paler skin and dizziness.
Iron isn't just about feeling less tired - it plays a key role in:
- helping your body rebuild after birth
- supporting milk production
- boosting focus and mood
- keeping your immune system strong
Top top: include iron-rich foods like lean red meat, lentils, beans, and leafy greens in your meals, and pair them with vitamin C (think citrus, capsicum, or berries) to help your body better absorb it.
If you notice any of these signs and they persist, it's always a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider.
