Sorry, I posted before I saw the correction dropping not one but two zeros from the dose of 
vitamin D.  Thanks for the reference.  I'm going to read it with interest.  The first thought 
that comes to mind if the studies were done in Saudi Arabia is whether or not the babies 
were wrapped.  If the babies were not wrapped as much as moms, they may be getting far 
more sunlight (the most natural form of vitamin D) than their counterparts in other regions 
of the world where pollution, lattitude, and fear of skin cancer may restrict their access to 
sunlight.  So, it may not be possible to extrapolate from a vitamin D deficient mother who 
is supplemented and feeding a baby who is exposed to sunlight to a vitamin D deficient 
mother who is supplemented and feeding a baby who is not exposed to sunlight.

Best, Susan Burger.
