With shorter days this time of year, vitamin D becomes especially important in the postpartum season. Many new moms spend more time indoors, which can lead to low vitamin D levels.
Vitamin D supports mood and emotional wellbeing, which matters during a time when hormonal shifts and sleep deprivation are already at play. It also plays a role in immune health, energy levels, and bone strength for both mom and baby, especially for those who are breastfeeding.
Gentle sunlight when possible, vitamin D rich foods, and talking with your provider about supplementation can be small but meaningful ways to support your body during postpartum healing.
Caring for yourself is part of caring for your baby!! 😘
