Ein Vitamin-B12-Mangel bei Neugeborenen wird meist durch einen mütterlichen Vitamin-B12-Mangel verursacht. Unerkannt führt ein schwerer Vitamin-B12-Mangel beim Kind zu irreversiblen neurologischen Schädigungen. Eine Früherkennung durch das Neugeborenenscreening wird derzeit in Pilotprojekten evaluiert. Für die Behandlung des Vitamin-B12-Mangels im Neugeborenenund Säuglingsalter wird häufig zunächst eine intramuskuläre Applikation von Vitamin B12 verwendet. Als Alternative wird von den Autoren ein ausschließlich orales Supplementationsschema mit Vitamin B12 vorgestellt.

“…The consequences of an inadequate vitamin B12 supply during lactation, especially for the infant, are demonstrated by several case studies, where serious neurological symptoms occurred [ 29 – 32 ]. Deficiency symptoms usually appear between 4–6 months of age, although irreversible damage can often be avoided with an early diagnosis and immediate treatment with vitamin B12 supplements [ 30 – 36 ].…”

Background Breastfeeding is important for the healthy growth and development of newborns, and the nutrient composition of human milk can be affected by maternal nutrition and supplementation. In Germany, iodine supplementation is recommended for all lactating mothers, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation is recommended for mothers with inadequate or no fish intake. Vitamin B12 supplementation is required for strict vegans during lactation, and other nutrient supplementation may be necessary depending on the individual's nutritional status. To address the lack of data on dietary supplements used by lactating mothers following a vegetarian or vegan diet, an online survey was conducted in Germany, with a focus on iodine, DHA, and vitamin B12. Methods Study participants were asked to report whether they followed specific dietary patterns (omnivorous [OM], vegetarian [VT], vegan [VN]) as well as their use of dietary supplements. Relationships between diets and supplement use were analyzed using chi-square tests. Results 2054 lactating women were included (1240 OM, 410 VT, and 404 VN) in this analysis. Within OM, VT and VN, at least one dietary supplement was taken by 67.3%, 84.9% and 98.0% respectively (p < 0.001). Overall, 53.2% OM, 66.8% VT, 88.4% VN reported taking at least one supplement containing iodine (p < 0.001). 54.6% OM, 61.7% VT and 58.2% VN reported supplements containing vitamin B12, while 34.1% OM, 40.2% VT and 38.6% VN mentioned supplements containing DHA (p < 0.05). Conclusion More than half of the participants reported the use of supplements during lactation with the highest proportion in vegans. However, over one third of the mothers did not report supplementing with iodine, regardless of their dietary pattern and most participants also did not report DHA supplements. It is worrisome that a high number of vegans did not report vitamin B12 supplementation, but this could be partly due to issues with reporting. It is crucial to provide further education to breastfeeding mothers about the importance of taking micronutrient supplements, especially for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet. This will help ensure that mothers and their breastfed infants receive optimal nutrition for a healthy development.
