in this video we're going to talk about breast milk and vitamin D this is a very important video if you are pregnant or you are a currently breastfeeding okay or if you have an infant here's the data and the most important thing you need to know breast milk contains very small amounts of vitamin D 1 cup of breast milk only will give you one percent of the RDA provide them in D and vitamin D is vital for your immune system bone formation sleep it's anti spasmodic it prevents spasms and muscle and there's a thing called
subclinical rickets alright what causes rickets one of the main causes of rickets is vitamin D deficiencies you can also have rickets from low calcium or lower phosphorus but vitamin D is the most common cause of rickets and some of the symptoms of rickets would be your bones become very soft you get bowed legs okay you get knock-knees scoliosis is a symptom of rickets growth all sorts of dental malformations vitamin D is essential in preventing autoimmune conditions preventing respiratory infections now there's one article which I'll put a link down below which is quite interesting 44 randomly
selected infants with lower respiratory infection were evaluated for subclinical rickets seven of the 44 had subclinical rickets which i think is very high percentage and one of the ways they can diagnose it is through malformation of the bones in your wrist because vitamin D is essential in growing bones and if you're deficient you're gonna have malformation in the growth of your balance but all 44 infants with respiratory infections all had low vitamin D levels and how many infants get respiratory infections very common how many infants can't sleep now as far as anti spasm goes what
about colic okay so an infant that is colicky basically has a spasm in the smooth muscle in the digestive system and there's a huge connection between vitamin D deficiencies and having that symptom this problem is very easily solved by giving the mother who is breastfeeding some cod liver oil I would recommend a high quality virgin cod liver oil and consume that on a regular basis or get some Sun and you also have vitamin D from other sources to fatty fish like salmon sardines I'll put a link down below for more information and where you can
get your vitamin D but cod liver oil is one of the best sources alright guys I'll talk to you later so vitamin D deficiencies can create soft bones and knock needs both legs what got you freaked me out man
