Thank you for your question, I reviewed some resources regarding your question, and it is difficult to discuss ALL vitamins as we do not have the data available. However, it is generally encouraged that lactating women continue to eat a well-balanced diet as vitamins are essential, and more is required if lactating. If a varied diet is challenging, one may consider continuing their prenatal vitamins while nursing. Please contact your local primary care provider for guidance specific to your needs
thank you!
