OK I have gotten a prescription from the doc for vitamin D for Daniel. Apparently the standard recommendation for breast fed babies is to give them this, since vit D is not transferred through breast milk. The doc did say he didn't think Daniel needed it, but since its a standard recommendation he would go ahead and write out a prescrip.

I filled the prescription but I haven't given it to him yet. I think he gets plenty of sun to make his own vit D and I am skeptical of the research since the vitamins are made by a formula company.....

Thoughts?

By the Grace of God, I go on.

I wouldn't use it. Plenty of babies have been breastfed before this became the recommendation and were just fine. My guess is it is a combination of money maker for formula companies and combined with the fact that many babies are not going ouutside enough. but then y'all know I am pretty anti-established medicine compared to most.

Another thing is the old adage "If it ain't broke don't fix it"

Its just hard, sometimes. We are so programmed to do what doctors tell us in this country.....
