Vitamin K was quantitated in the milk of four groups of 15 mothers from 1 d to 6 mo postpartum in a cross-sectional study. Concentrations were 7.52 +/- 5.90 and 6.36 +/- 5.32 nmol/L (3.39 +/- 2.66 and 2.87 +/- 2.40 micrograms/L) in colostrum and mature milk, respectively. Differences between colostrum and mature milk or among samples of mature milk collected at 1, 3, and 6 mo were not statistically significant. Because of significantly increased volumes of milk over the lactation period, approximately twice as much vitamin K was delivered in mature milk as in colostrum. Within normal ranges, concentrations of vitamin K in milk were not predicted by dietary intake of vegetables or fat. Vitamin K was correlated with fat in colostrum and was localized in the lipid core of the milk fat globule but was not associated with membranes. Vitamin K in human milk is insufficient to meet recommended intakes for infants aged less than 6 mo. Population and clinical studies are needed to assess the vitamin K status of exclusively breast-fed infants and to evaluate current recommendations.
