Hi
Auburn Hospital screens all women and prescirbes as needed. 75% of the
women are vitamin D deficient. This hospital has a very culturally
diverse service with between 70 -80 different languages spoken over a
three to six month period.
I will forward your email to one of the staff at the hospital who can
give you further information

Does anyone here in Australia recommend to their mothers to supplement
their babies for Vit. D? I am just studying vitamin D and the breastfed
infant at the moment and it says "A supplement of 400 IU per day of
vitamin D is recommended for all breastfed infants".

I am interested in some others perspective. But, I have never
recommended a supplement to the breastfed baby or articial baby for that
matter, though do frequently recommend the mother take a supplement.
I wonder if this is just another way of research not supporting
exclusive breastfeeding? Or perhaps another reason as to why women's
bodies are incapable of giving and sustaining life? ok getting off
topic!
Blessings,
Rachaelx
