Oh wise lactnetters - has anyone done anything looking at low vitamin D levels and low prolactin levels? Have had several patients coming back with this type of result and am wanting to find out if this is an artifact or something worth pursuing.

If I've done this properly, the links to the video and paper should be below. The paper discusses the link between Vitamin D deficiency and higher levels of pre-term birth, whereas the video also discusses levels of maternal Vit D needed to raise the levels in breastmilk, as an alternative to supplementing the breastfed baby.
