"What is not clear to me, from the Hollis review is 
whether the research has been done on the higher doses of women to show that
it is actually resulted in a response in the breastfed infants. "

The whole article opened for me with the link given.

In the last section of the article:
"These same investigators repeated a similar study with 2000 IU (50 µg)
vitamin D/d and found that the vitamin D status of the breastfeeding infants
improved significantly (92). Our group recently performed similar studies,
supplementing lactating women with 2000 or 4000 IU vitamin D/d for 3 mo
(38). We found that high-dose maternal vitamin D supplementation not only
improves the nutritional vitamin D status of breastfeeding infants but also
elevates the maternal concentrations into the mid-normal range. Thus, a dual
benefit is achieved from high-dose maternal supplementation."
