A woman has contacted me who is breastfeeding a 7 month old.  She wants to
get pregnant again.  Her OB has suggested she take 4 mg Folic acid/day
because a previous child was born with a spinal cord defect.  Does anyone
have any information concerning the use of high doses of Folic acid while
breastfeeding?  Dr. Hale says "Excessive doses (> 1 mg/day) are not generally
recommended."  Can anyone elaborate on the concerns?
