nursing mother supplementation?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

For nursing mothers, the most basic supplement outside of iodized salt use is 150-200 micrograms of iodine and 400 IU of vitamin D daily. Beyond that, iron, B12, and omega-3 (DHA) needs vary depending on your blood work and eating habits. Before taking a multivitamin, you should always get blood tests and consult your doctor — there isn't one supplement that works for everyone.
