How do you know why she was banned?
Actually I was told her by a few posters and by a pharmasist (spelling issue) that the requirements have changed for vitamin D. I do not know if there are any side affects but that we should all be getting more then we use to. I do not know why but cancer was mentioned in women and that this helps reduce risk. I do not suppliment although I was told that moo juice has vitamin D as an addition so Kylie is being "supplimented" in a sense as it is not naturally occuring.
I am actually with you on this one but just giving information as I heard it and for this reason why your doctor probably mentioned it. Iron is a whole other story and it is not fun to see your child become anemic. Kylie was tired all the time and wanted to sleep. I knew there was an issue when she put herself to bed at 6 in the evening and rose at 9 the next morning.
The suppliments are horrible though and I just did it by diet (they taste too awful and Kylie would have none of it. She has been fine since...
Sorry, my spelling sucks!
Holly, I don't blame you for not wanting to give your DD a supplement for Vit D either. In all honesty, I've never heard a pedi recommend giving a child a Vit D supplement. The only people I've ever seen a recommendation for Vit D supplements are post-menopausal women (and it's in conjunction with their calcium supplement).
Bingo ;-P
You may use it wherever you like. I give open rights on this one lol.
Now THERE'S a reason to breastfeed if I ever saw one lol.
