A member asked:
Can i take 5000 ius of vitamin d3 when breastfeeding during the winter in the north eastern us? if only take it for a few months during winter is it likely to be okay?

Yes. For several months it will be fine. I would even go to every other day as a regular supplement afterwards.

Taking Vitamin D3 at a dose of 5000 units/day for three months would be sufficient to provide adequate levels. After that you can reduce to 4000 units/day.
