After all, wouldn't a growing baby inside the womb be susceptible to
periods of vitamin D deficiency? And won't the baby's skin show the
sign of that vitamin D depletion as the organ tries to synthesize
more? Indeed, what skin tumors of unknown etiology are present at
birth?



Babies get their supply of "Vitamin D" straight from the mother's
blood in the form of 1,25[OHD] and as such do not need to synthesize
their own until after birth.
