Yes. A mother's need for iodine and choline increases during lactation.

Ah yes, nak bagi baby the best nutrition kan! So breastfed babies actually get most of what they need from your milk, including iodine and choline since you're eating well, tapi doctors usually recommend vitamin D drops from birth (especially important kat Malaysia ni), and some babies might need vitamin K at birth je. Iron and vitamin B12 become important after 6 months when solids start, so best to check with your paediatrician on the exact timeline and what your baby specifically needs based on diet. One of my mum friends was surprised when the clinic gave her vitamin D for her newborn, but it made sense sebab kat sini sun exposure yang terik pun tak enough.
