Aloha everyone, I am working with a mom who has retinitis pigmentosa. Her doctor told her she needed to go back on her vitamin A supplements. She has a 4 month old breastfed baby. She called me for help with weaning. She needs to take 8000 IU's two times a day. I checked Hale and searched the archives. It seems intake should not exceed 5000 to 10,000 IU's daily. Mom is constantly checked by a doctor when she is on Vitamin A. Is weaning definitely necessary or is there some way to work around the supplementing? Mom wanted to breastfeed, so that is why she did not start back on the Vitamin A immediately postpartum. Thanks. Aloha, Gloria Thai Honolulu, O'ahu, Hawai'i about 20 degrees N of the equator *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
