Both adults and children need Vitamin D to help absorb phosphorus and calcium into the bloodstream, which in turn helps to build and maintain strong bones. You may know the importance of calcium for kids' bone health. However, you may not be aware that Vitamin D is equally important to assist kids' with heaving strong bones.

When kids get calcium, it is important to have healthy levels of Vitamin D in their system to help absorb it in the gastrointestinal tract. There are two types of vitamin D.

One is Vitamin D2 which comes from plants and Vitamin D3 which are produced by our skin when its exposed to the sun. Both are important and assist with our bone health. With less sun exposure during winter months, there is less chance for kids to get vitamin D "the natural way".

Colic is one of the huge challenges some parents of young babies face. Some babies don't have it, some have it mild, and others have severe colic, which can take a toll on the whole family.

So what is colic and why does it happen to babies?
Colic is a condition which produces gases in babies' gastrointestinal tract that is very sore to them. It usually doesn't last beyond four months old, and if it affects a baby, it happens around 4 to 6 weeks of their age.

There isn't a definite reason as to why it happens. Some doctors believe it comes from the baby's diet, others that it's from what the mother eats or what's in formula. Either way it isn't anyone's fault and unfortunately affects many families.
