It's also difficult to get enough vitamin D through food alone.<br />This is why the Department of Health recommends that all children from six months to five years old are given supplements, in the form of vitamin drops, which contain vitamins A, C and D.<br /><br />Vitamin D only occurs naturally in a few foods, such as oily fish and eggs. It is also added to some foods such as fat spreads and breakfast cereals. The best source of vitamin D is summer sunlight on their skin. However, it’s sensible to keep your child’s skin safe in the sun. Children shouldn’t be out too long in the sun in hot weather. Remember to cover up or protect their skin before it turns red or burns<br /><br />I went to this link but there will be others.<br /><br />Also isn't butter healthier to eat than fat spreads? Also do some of the stronger sun blocks stop Vitamin D from getting through to a childs skin?<br /><br />http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/vitamins-for-children.aspx#close<br /><br />Kath (retired HCP)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
