Go outside and get a little sunshine instead of staying inside and taking yet another supplement. If your breastfeeding - take a walk outside with your baby everyday. It will do so much more for you than just drinking your vitamins. This is silly. Go outside and get a little sunshine instead of staying inside and taking yet another supplement.

Breast milk is far superior to "complete" formula and vitamin D deficiency is rare in babies. Children and adults need more sunshine in moderate doses, not artificial Vitamin D. Yes, there are some climes--Pacific Northwest, the Northeast--where the sun's angle does not create enough vitamin D in the skin. The answer is <b>not</b> to stop breastfeeding but to individualize vitamin care.

I work in the drug rehabilitation industry and way too often the choice is quick to prescribe meds when they will only further harm the individual. Good blog.
