Years ago I remember Mary White from LLLI explaining that a baby only needs
about 15 minutes of sunlight per day on an exposed square inch of cheek to
get enough vit D.  Maybe moms need to know that 15 min or so of sun is OK
and then apply the sun screen!  I don't know how scientific Mary's statement
was.  Maybe there is a biochemist on Lactnet to comment :-)  Remember
exogenous iron (from vit preps or cereal) interferes with a BF baby being
able to use what is available in breast milk. Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
