Yup. It could have been related to where I was or something like that, but I never heard a pedi recommend a Vit D supplement, not even to BF babies.

Or to infer that they have psychological problems, and make assumptions about their situation based upon those problems.



That kind of thinking should definitely be challenged and corrected.
