I found an interesting BBC video about vitamin D. I wasn’t told about taking vitamin D supplements when I was pregnant or breastfeeding, and it wasn’t until my son’s 8 month check that I was told he should have any. I was told I could only get them if I was on benefits and not advised that I could get them from the pharmacy. Not one of my friends who have young children give them vitamin D supplements.
The Department of Health could do much more on this subject.
