Vitamin D Levels in Moms Linked to Baby Language Skills
Paula Gallagher on
A new study out of Australia suggests pregnant women who do not get enough vitamin D could be putting their children at risk of language difficulties.
Researchers looked at levels of the sunshine vitamin in more than 700 pregnant women, then measured their children's behaviour and language development.
They found that the children of mothers with the lowest levels of vitamin D were twice as likely to experience language difficulties, compared to those whose mothers had normal levels of the vitamin.
One of the reasons for low vitamin D levels is the amount of time spent in the sun, or the amount of time NOT spent in the sun. With concern about skin cancer, many women are also wearing sunscreen to prevent skin damage and possible skin cancer.
So, supplementing with vitamin D3 acts as insurance. I personally take 2000IU per day (particularly in the winter) and both of my children take 1000IU.
