My doctor blamed the fact that I'm vegetarian and don't drink much milk. I blamed the fact that it was January.
I'm guessing they added together. Doesn't grain stuff have added D, too?
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

In the kids-are-resilient-and-adaptable, I present my nephew who stole handfuls of hot salsa when he was under a year and just put that stuff away with glee! And he was a formula baby. He's a healthy, active 5.5 year old who eats anything you put in front of him and will often pick out something so exotic, even his garbage disposal dad pauses at (though if he says he doesn't want to eat it, listen. He's got a good reason somewhere and it has often come back up unexpectedly.)
Whatever works for you and keeps them healthy.

Doesn't the human body actually produce its own vitamin D with mild sun exposure?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Laura, good friends of our have mondo huge baby boys, too. Their son is 6 months old and just topped 24 lbs. Their 2 year old is 40 lbs. Their dad is a big guy and their mom is very tall, too.
I was didn't really have to be strict with Owen because he wasn't fixated on candy, etc I(until I introduced him to mini M&Ms). And he still refuses soda (he's had a taste here or there). Liv wants to down my diet coke and she would eat candy for breakfast if I let her.
Note to self: taking a yoga class and an aqua jogging class one after another at the end of the day = EXHAUSTING
I feel like a noodle.

Most breakfast cereals have added vitamin D. And also, I take a multivitamin every day that has vitamin D in it. After I told the doctor that, he told me to take extra D supplements. I've also been paying attention to making sure I get some time in the sun every day.

Yep. Fifteen to twenty minutes a day in the sun will generally provide enough vitamin D for the average person.

Oh, thank goodness -- now we have storms! (My computer still thinks it's 88, but the TV says it's 77 now!)
Hil, I do also think that tests like that can just be screwy one day versus another. I swear, a doctor told me I had something one year, and that I didn't the next (not something that should have magically gone away).

Our wings are not tired.
One kid is crazy picky and has a very limited food list. He never ever uses any condiments, and heaven forbid 2 different foods touch each other. The other one will eat or at least try absolutely anything and loves the spicy. They are both huge and healthy so I don't fight about food.

Yeah, there's that, too.
I confuse doctors all the time because my iron and calcium levels are consistently above the normal range. They can never figure that out, and eventually just figure that my body is weird. (The iron and calcium are always above the normal level, every time they've ever been tested.)
