It should be stated clearly that it is a lifestyle issue. Not a dietary issue. Not a breastmilk issue. But really an issue of 'because we don't spend time outside, midday, nearly naked, during the summer, until the point just before a burn would occur, which is a very short time for a Fitzpatrick phototype I and could be a 50 mintues for a Fitzpatrick Phototype IV and *hours* for a Fitzpatrick VI etc etc etc. Sounds crazy but it's actually pretty accurate. <<Formula is just as "deficient" before they add Vitamin D.>> Exactly. Having said that, it is a huge issue. And we all need to be doing everything in our power to insure that the current info is getting out there and that moms and babies are getting the vitamin D the need *now*. :) Katherine *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
