I would like to resume taking a nutritional supplement system I was
taking before my recent pregnancy (the baby is now 7 weeks old). I am
concerned about the levels of some of the vitamins. Can anyone tell me
whether these are acceptable or not during lactation?
Vitamin A (beta carotene) 7500 IU
Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) 7500 IU
Vitamin C 410 mg
Vitamin E 130 IU
Vitamin D 400 IU
Vitamin B-1 3.75 mg
B-2 4.25 mg
B3 50 mg
B-6 5 mg
B-12 15 mcg
folate (folic acid) 400 mcg
Are there any vitamins or minerals that can be dangerous to the
nursing infant in excessive amounts, like vitamin A during pregnancy?
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
When I was taking these supplements, I felt great and my hair and
nails have never been in such good shape either.
