Now we practically LIVE outside. However we are Black, live in the Northeast and both children were exclusively breastfed. we fit a stereotype and they tested the babies and voila deficiency. I would have never guessed. we don't fall into those diet hypes. After all i was born in Jamaica, we live on wholesome foods! Both children have normal vitamin D levels and both have had their legs straighten out. By the way, both children refused any milk that wasn't breastmilk until 2 1/2 years of age.
