Vitamin a while Breastfeeding

CAS Number: 68-26-8

Retinol is also a name for vitamin A which is a natural component of human milk. Content in the human milk is about 2,800 IU/L (750 μ/L). Infant's recommended dietary daily allowance is 2,000 IU (600 μ/L). Mother's recommended daily allowance is 3,200 IU (950 μ/L). There is a risk for severe intoxication after an isolated dose of 25,000 IU or long-standing daily consumption of 5,000 IU. After a megadose administration of vitamin A increases concentration to a double in the colostrum. Supplementation with vitamin A to breastfeeding mothers or infants does not reduce mortality or morbidity among HIV affected offsprings, instead it increases the likelihood of transmission of HIV or subclinical mastitis in those mothers infected with HIV. Vitamin A is widely distributed in the food of animal or vegetable origin. Except for populations affected with food shortage or nutritionally deficient, those women on a complete and varied diet do not need the intake of vitamin A supplementation The List of Essential Medicines of WHO-2002 classifies it as compatible with breastfeeding.

Routine, modest daily supplemental vitamin A results in modest increases in milk vitamin A content and appears to be safe for the infant. Vitamin A (retinol) and provitamin A carotenoids are normal components of human milk.[1] The recommend dietary intake in lactating women is 1300 mcg retinol per day, compared to 770 mcg per day during pregnancy. The recommended daily intake for infants aged 6 months or less is 400 mcg. .[2] Lactating mothers may need to supplement their diet to achieve the recommended daily vitamin A intake. Maternal vitamin A supplementation during pregnancy and lactation has not been shown to reduce mortality or the risk of anemia in breastfed infants living in developing regions, but there may be undiscovered benefits related to improved antioxidant capacity and immune function.[3][4][5] Maternal single doses up to 120,000 mcg or daily doses up to 1500 mcg are not expected to harm the breastfed infant. Daily doses above 3,000 mcg should be avoided in the mother. [2] Vitamin A in milk has antioxidant properties.[6] Holder pasteurization (62.5 degrees C for 30 minutes) does not reduce milk antioxidant capacity.[7]
