Hello All,Years ago, I shared information about the oral development benefits of Breast Suckling vs. Bottle Sucking.Now, I hope to share some important news regarding vitamins and maternal & fetal health--mostly Vitamin D & B.
Vitamin D Deficiency (VDD) must be corrected before gestation and during breastfeeding. Current guidelines for vitamin D (the too low RDA) and even prenatal vitamins too often do NOT keep mothers and their young above 30 ng/ml vitamin D blood level, nor on the high side of the normal 30-100.  In 2016, researchers studied gestational vitamin D levels in 7098 mothers and offspring. They found the lowest and worst maternal VDD resulted in proportional worst fetal growth restriction, increased risk of preterm birth and small size for gestational age at birth. [Source: Amer J Clin Nutr. 2016 PMID: 27099250]
Take care of yourself, your baby and all those your love. Be sure your vitamin D blood levels are above 30 ng/ml and closer to 60 ng/ml. VDD increases the risk of miscarriage, over 300 ills and even death. Use OTC D3 NOT D2 to boost levels.
