◉ Summary of Use during Lactation:Vitamin B12 is a normal component of human milk. The recommended daily intake in lactating women is 2.8 mcg and for infants aged 6 months or less is 0.4 mcg. Some authorities recommend 5.5 mcg per day during lactation. Supplementation may be necessary to achieve these recommended daily intakes or to correct a known deficiency. Low doses (1 to 10 mcg) of vitamin B12 found in B complex or prenatal vitamins increase milk levels only slightly. Higher daily doses of 50 to 250 mcg are needed in cases of maternal deficiency. The breastfed infant is not exposed to excessive vitamin B12 in such cases, and their vitamin B12 status should improve if it was previously inadequate.
Poor health outcomes in infants with vitamin B12 deficiency include anemia, abnormal skin and hair development, convulsions, weak muscle tone, failure to thrive, mental developmental delay, and possibly abnormal movements. One well-recognized at risk group are exclusively breastfed infants of mothers with B12 deficiency due to minimal or no dietary intake of animal products or pernicious anemia caused by a maternal malabsorption of B12. Infant vitamin B12 status can be improved through maternal B12 supplementation during pregnancy and lactation. Deficient mothers who miss the opportunity to supplement during pregnancy should still be encouraged to supplement during early lactation since infant vitamin B12 status correlates with milk vitamin B12 levels in breastfed infants up to 6 months of age. Although there are cases reported of exclusively breastfed infants with vitamin B12 deficiency having biochemical and clinical improvement through adequate maternal supplementation alone, direct supplementation of the infant is recommended when such treatments are available.
Flash heat pasteurization of breastmilk does not reduce milk vitamin B12 concentration.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants:Twelve exclusively breastfed infants between 4 and 11 months of age had biochemical, hematological and clinical findings consistent with vitamin B12 deficiency. Their mothers received a 50 mcg single dose of intramuscular vitamin B12. Within 5 to 8 days after the dose, the infants experienced significantly increased hemoglobin and reticulocyte counts, normoblastic erythropoiesis, improved mental status, regression of abnormal skin pigmentation, and reduction in tremors.
Three hundred sixty-six pregnant women in India received 50 mcg of oral vitamin B12 or placebo capsules once daily beginning during their first trimester of pregnancy and continuing until 6 weeks postpartum. Among 218 infants that underwent neurodevelopment testing at 30 months of age, those born to mothers randomized to vitamin B12 had higher expressive language scores than the placebo group when adjusted for baseline maternal vitamin B12 deficiency. Cognitive, receptive language and motor scores were not different between the two groups. Neurophysiological assessments were then conducted at 6 years of age and there were no differences in the measured brain activity between the two groups.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk:Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
ABSORPTION OF VITAMINE B12 FROM THE GI TRACT MAY BE DECR BY AMINOGLYCOSIDE ANTIBIOTICS, COLCHICINE, EXTENTED-RELEASE POTASSIUM PREPN, AMINOSALICYLIC ACID & ITS SALTS, ANTICONVULSANTS (EG, PHENYTOIN, PHENOBARBITAL, PRIMADONE), COBALT IRRADIATION OF THE SMALL BOWEL, & BY EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL INTAKE LASTING LONGER THAN 2 WK.
The gastrointestinal absorption of vitamin B12 can be considerably decreased by oral neomycin. Colchicine administration appears to increase neomycin-induced malabsorption of vitamin B12.
The decreased vitamin B12 absorption induced by aminosalicylic acid may be due to the mild malabsorption syndrome that occurs in some patients treated with aminosalicylic acid (PAS).

Vitamin B12 is irregularly absorbed from the distal small intestine following oral administration. Dietary vitamin B12 is protein bound and this bond must be split by proteolysis and gastric acid before absorption. In the stomach, free vitamin B12 is attached to intrinsic factor; intrinsic factor a glycoprotein secreted by the gastric mucosa, is necessary for active absorption of the vitamin from the GI tract. The vitamin B12-intrinsic factor complex passes into the intestine, where much of the complex is transiently retained at specific receptor sites in the wall of the lower ileum before the vitamin B12 portion is absorbed into systemic circulation.
