 <<The Dr. suggested that she not breastfeed the new baby
because of the risk of rickets for this child as well.
        What can this woman due to avoid rickets in the new baby while
continuing to nurse?>>

Give the baby Vitamin D. This can be done most simply by giving the child
Tri-vi-sol or any equivalent infant ADC vitamin comination. The child
should be followed clinically and chemically for rickets, of course.
