None of the above preparations have been tested for safety when used in breastfeeding women and possible effects on the nursing baby. Therefore, they are not recommended for use during lactation. If you suspect vitamin deficiencies, I encourage you to consult your doctor. Your doctor will assess whether supplementation is necessary in your case. You can take advantage of a teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
