The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The most basic supplement a nursing mother should take is 400–600 IU vitamin D daily (Turkish Ministry of Health recommendation). Your baby also gets separate vitamin D; don't neglect your own support.

A multivitamin-mineral (especially containing iron, iodine, B12, and zinc) can complement balanced nutrition, but if diet is varied, most needs are met through food.

Consulting your doctor before using supplements is safest — especially if you have iron overload, iodine sensitivity, or a previous health condition. I don't recommend specific brands.
