It all depends on what vitamins you will be taking. The best person to discuss this with would be your pediatrician.

What Vitamins are you lacking. Has your doctor or baby doctor recommended any kind of vitamin drops for your baby? Or any vitamins for yourself? It is best to discuss this with your doctor because he/she will be able to give you the best recommendations if it is even a concern? Which might not be.

They recommend that a baby that is being breastfed, get supplements of vitamin d. Talk to your pharmacist as well. They have specific vitamin d drops for infants which if your lacking. Your baby needs, there is not much vitamin d that comes through breastmilk.
