What is advisable for a breastfeeding mother following a vegan diet to ensure adequate vitamin intake?

  1. A. Calcium-fortified foods

  2. B. Iron supplements

  3. C. Vitamin C-rich foods

  4. D. B12 supplement

The correct answer is: D. B12 supplement

A breastfeeding mother following a vegan diet needs to pay special attention to adequate intake of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is mainly found in animal products, and deficiency can lead to serious health issues for both the mother and the baby. Therefore, it is advisable for breastfeeding mothers following a vegan diet to take a B12 supplement to ensure they are meeting their nutritional needs. While calcium-fortified foods, iron supplements, and vitamin C-rich foods are important for overall health, they are not specifically as crucial for vegan breastfeeding mothers as ensuring proper B12 intake.
