Brief Answer:
Prenatal capsule by Wyeth

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Prenatal Capsule by Wyeth has just the right formulation. Big thing is that it doesn't have unnecessary supplements like dha.
Along with please continue with Fefol tablets once a day during the lactation period.

Redin-PN syr by Fourrts is also a good choice but may not be easily available.

You can take either prenatal+fefol or redin-pn.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
