Jaye Simpson posted to ask whether anyone knew of any reason why a nutritional supplement containing krill oil would be a problem for a woman who is breastfeeding.  Katharine Morrison responded, and then responded again to my post on krill oil.  Katharine, you didn't miss anything, you mentioned vitamin D in your response to Jaye's post, and I as a reader unfamiliar with the nutrient composition of krill oil jumped to the incorrect conclusion that vitamin D had some role in krill oil after reading this in your post: 

"Wonderful stuff for a breastfeeding mom.   Krill oil is a fantastic anti-inflammatory, excellent source of long chain omega 3 EFAs and phospholipids.   Marine Lipid Concentrate is likely fish oil.  If so, it's fine as well.

Consider sharing with her the documentation that a maternal dose of 6400 IU vitamin D per day is required to get her infant 400 IU vitamin D via her milk."

I see on re-reading it that these are two separate paragraphs and there is no connection between Vitamin D and krill oil beyond their appearance in the same Lactnet post.   Since the marine fat omega-3 supplement I take is also my main dietary source of Vitamin D, I connected the two in this post as well.  Sorry if I confused anyone.
