>Hello;
>  I'm not very computer literate but have managed to find my way to you.
>I will attempt to throw my question out on Lactnet--but I'm unsure if I

>  Anyways,  I had a client call the office because she was concerned
>about the high doses of vitamins her ND had prescribed for her.  Some
>doses are: B1 125 mg; B2 100mg; B6 110mg; B3 183 mg; B12 300mg; Folic
>Acid 1200mcg; A 5000IU; Beta carotene 5000mg; E 133IU; C 2000mg; Flax
>seed oil 2 tsp. My concerns are Vit A, E and Folic acid.
>  Her baby is 2 months old. She (mom) has been on these for 3 days and
>has noticed her baby has very loose stools/diarrhea--which is a side
>effect of B12.
>  Any research stored in your brain or guidance for me to help her.
>  I am a LC at a large medical center in Maine with 3 other LC's.  Love
>my job and guess I need to venture out to Lactnet
