<<
How would this work?? >>

personally, I don't think its a great idea to start attempting to get
babies optimal D only from moms mlk levels.

however, if one wants to do it, then it will require supplementing with
D, and checking 25(OH)D levels probably every 3 mos or so to make sure
that levels are not too high nor too low.

  <<how and when would it be free
> to transfer to the baby?>>

They're not fat stored, but fat soluable.    There are A and D receptors
on every cell in our body.   We know that d levels in human milk change
with D intake of the mother.

<<Seems mighty dangerous to risk overdosing on D.>>

it is.  that's why when D is being supplemented in levels to bring one
to sufficiency (levels associated with optimal health seem to be more
along the lines 40-55 ng/nmol than the generally accepted low of 20),
25(OH)D levels need to be tested every few months for about a year -
gives the person time to figure out in different amounts of sunlight how
much D they need (or sun) at different times per year.
