Moms Talk Q&A: Getting Your Vitamin D

Moms Talk is a new feature on Enumclaw Patch that is part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families. 

Enumclaw Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Enumclaw and the surrounding Plateau.

Moms Talk is your place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Do you know of local moms raising their children in the Tiger Mother's way and is it the best way? Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

And you don't need to be a mom to chime in the conversation!

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with this question, inspired by today's winter storm warning: With so little sun exposure in the winter months here in the Pacific Northwest, are you concerned about Vitamin D deficiency in your child(ren)? What have your pediatricians recommended and what are you doing to help ensure your kids are still getting the vital nutrients they need, in spite of the weather?
