Regarding Michelle Scott's post reporting: "A new clinical report from the
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) entitled, "Prevention of Rickets and
Vitamin D Deficiency: New Guidelines for Vitamin D Intake," recommends that
all healthy infants beginning during the first two months of life, children
and adolescents should receive vitamin D supplementation to prevent rickets
and vitamin D deficiency. The recommendation includes breastfed infants."
Anyone interested in helping mothers make informed decisions about vitamin
D supplementation of breastfed infants may be interested in reading my two
articles on the topic:
Good Mojab, C. Sunlight deficiency: A review of the literature. Mothering.
March-April 2003; 117:52-55; 57-63.
Good Mojab, C. Sunlight deficiency and breastfeeding. Breastfeeding
Abstracts. 2002; 22(1):3-4.
Excerpts are available on the publications page of my website. I welcome
feedback on these articles.
