Energy requirements during lactation increase by 500 kcal daily..

Lactating vegan women should use a reliable source of vitamin B12 daily and a 
vitamin D supplement if exposeure to sunlight is limited.  Vitamin D and B12 
supplemtntation of breastfed infants of vegan mothers is also recommeded.  
Lactating women should include a reliable source of DHA or linolenic acid in 
their diet or take a DHA supplement.  Not from the da... formula companies of 
course!
This source is from ADA, Pediatric Hematol oncol. and Clin Pediatrics.

I found this useful and wanted to pass it along.
Have a Happy New Year,
robin
