The postpartum period is a huge transition, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Between sleepless nights, shifting hormones, and adjusting to life with a newborn, it’s normal to feel a little depleted. One nutrient that quietly plays a big role during this time is vitamin D3.
Here’s why this sunshine vitamin is so important after birth, and how you can make sure you're getting enough.
Why Vitamin D3 Matters Postpartum
Vitamin D3 is the active form your body makes when exposed to sunlight. While it's best known for supporting bone health, it does a whole lot more, especially during the postpartum stage.
1. Mood and Mental Health
Low vitamin D levels have been linked to increased risk of low mood and symptoms of postpartum depression. Supporting your D3 levels can help regulate mood and emotional wellbeing when you're going through big changes.
2. Energy and Immune Support
When you're running on little sleep and juggling new routines, your immune system can take a hit. Vitamin D helps support immune function and can assist with maintaining energy levels too.
3. Bone and Muscle Strength
Pregnancy and breastfeeding place extra demands on your body. D3 helps your body absorb calcium, which is essential for keeping bones and muscles strong while you recover.
4. Breast Milk Nutrient Quality
If you're breastfeeding, your vitamin D status directly impacts how much your baby gets through breast milk. Babies can’t make enough on their own, so your levels really matter.
But Here’s the Thing...
Over 1 in 4 adults in Australia are low in vitamin D. For new mums who are mostly indoors or feeding on demand around the clock, it’s even more common. Less sun exposure, cooler months, and covered clothing can all make it harder to keep your levels up.
