ABSTRACT

A woman's life changes drastically during pregnancy because she becomes accountable for her developing child's wellbeing in addition to her own. After the baby is delivered and the mother starts nursing, this process is repeated. Researchers are still learning all there is to know about the impact of vitamin D levels at this time. New research challenging long-held beliefs about the importance of vitamin D in health indicates that vitamin D affects immune function and surveillance, which extends beyond calcium and bone metabolism to affect the health of the mother and her foetus. This role goes beyond what conventional thinking has hitherto allowed. The mother's breast milk continues to be the child's main supply of vitamin D after delivery, while this process continues. As a result, deficiencies in foetuses and infants are predicted by maternal insufficiency throughout pregnancy and lactation; the importance of this is just now being recognised and will be underlined in this review. Throughout pregnancy, maternal insufficiency is predictive to fetal and neonatal deficit.
