Especially coming out of the winter time where you didn't get much sun, and now being inside with the baby continuing to not get sun, you probably don't get nearly enough just in your diet. I'm sure the prenatal vitamins contain vitamin D, it just might not be quite enough to supplement you AND the baby, and I don't know how much of it makes it into your milk to begin with. Vitamin D is sort of an exploding field of research and they're finding out that it does a lot more than we used to think and that it's more developmentally important than we thought, so they're probably just starting to supplement babies as a precaution. Particularly in little ones, being deficient in the early years can predispose them to developing diabetes young, for example. Anyway, just some thoughts. They're probably not a bad idea.Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08819275270118327147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573161704908214674.post-46206519330917752452010-05-21T15:55:02.000-07:002010-05-21T15:55:02.000-07:00Dr. Chang suggested giving the baby Vitamin D drop...Dr. Chang suggested giving the baby Vitamin D drops 1-2 times a week...We haven't started them yet.Suzannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15915232708059295654noreply@blogger.com
