I have just began taking Deplin and a B12 supplement due to a genetic marker (MTHFR) which does not allow my body to absorb B12 and other vitamins. I want to continue breastfeeding at least for the first year. If I am deficient in B12 due to my malabsorption my child will be as well if I rely solely on nursing. It seems that taking Deplin is the only alternative for me. However, I am worried that Deplin even though a medical "food" is not good for my child. I have been pumping for two days while taking this and I do not want to dry up.
Thank you for your assistance.
