Rachel,  Now I thought I was the "party pooper" on this list!  Party's at my
house--surf's up--balmy 70 degree weather here in Florida, ocean temp less
balmy.   Must be very wintery in Norway right now!

On a less humorous vein (of course).  Artifically fed infants do get vitamin
D--well, maybe.  In fact they get excessive concentrations of vitamin D and
sometimes they get none at all.  Due to preserving shelf life of a lifeless
product, the industry has to put in more of the vitamin than needed but
sometimes due to problems and interactions with other substances or length of
storage the vitamin D concentration is negligible.  So babies that are not
breastfed basicly play Russian roulette in regard to vitamin D.

But you forget to mention DHA, Rachel!   Breastfeeding mothers better take
their DHA supplement because of course what is naturally provided isn't good
enough.  And since DHA will be provided for in infant formula (GRAS status
pending in  USA but DHA is in most European and Asian infant formulas), then
most assuredly mothers need to get their breastmilk more like formula.  Oh
yeah and along with the DHA ya might get a little hexane, but isn't that one
of the five basic food groups?  Valerie W. McClain, IBCLC
