The Posts with the Most: The 8 Best Postnatal Vitamins of 2022

Best postnatal vitamin if you’re not breastfeeding

New Chapter Perfect Postnatal

• Price: $$
• Key ingredients: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, B vitamins, magnesium, selenium
• Type: tablet
• Dosage: 3 tablets per day
• Certifications: GMP-compliant; certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher

It’s actually kinda hard to find a 100 percent organic prenatal/postnatal vitamin, especially one that’s more moderately priced. But this one from New Chapter is made from organic veggies and herbs, and contains fermented nutrients that are easy on the stomach. The added herbs — like lavender, turmeric, and lemon balm — may be mood-supportive and may help you with recovering from the stress of birth.

Reviewers rave about these vitamins, too, and you can pair them with New Chapter’s Wholemega for Moms fish oil to get your daily dose of DHA. Unfortunately, though, this postnatal doesn’t contain any choline.

Best gummy postnatal vitamin

Hello Bello Prenatal + DHA

• Price: $
• Key ingredients: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, B vitamins, choline, DHA
• Type: gummy

Not a pill person? We feel you. Hello Bello (yes, the diaper subscription people) now offer a prenatal gummy vitamin that’s perfect for postpartum — and you can add it right to your diaper order! Talk about one-stop shopping.

Note, though, that a serving of these gummies contains 5 grams of sugar — so if you’re doing keto or other lower sugar diets, it might not work for you. These gummies also don’t contain very much choline — just 2 percent of the Daily Value (DV).
