Hey Friends!!👩🏻‍⚕️👋🏼I'm Dr. Ashley Mayer, practicing family physician and mother of two awesome kiddos, age 13 and 6, formulator of the very best, purest supplements for your kiddos and family (link in bio 🙌🏼 ), and creator of the 💉 Strategy Guide (link in bio💥) ⁠ ⁠ “Don’t babies and breast milk have low vitamin D for a reason?” ⁠ ⁠ Hi friends! Many parents wonder why their pediatrician recommends their breastfed baby to supplement with Vitamin D and many of them email me with the question above. ⁠ ⁠ 💪🏼☀️Our bodies are indeed wise! However, our modern lifestyle is lacking in key areas that impact vitamin D levels. Historically, humans spent far more time outdoors, where both mothers and babies could naturally synthesize adequate amounts of vitamin D from sunlight. ⁠ ⁠ 🏠Today, with more time spent indoors and reduced exposure to natural sunlight, babies are not receiving the same levels of vitamin D that our ancestors did. ⁠ ⁠ 💊This lifestyle shift means that supplementation is often necessary to ensure babies get the vitamin D they need for proper bone development and immune function. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗👉🏼 Tap this post in my bio to learn more about the recommended dosage and best practices for Vitamin D supplementation! ⁠ ⁠ 💌 Share with a friend below who may find this helpful!
