To think DD didn't need to have suncream on?

I just dropped DD off at nursery. It's 12 degrees and sunny with clouds. DD has very sallow skin and I would never have put sun cream on her on a day like today. I used to be deficient in vitamin D myself and know that it's important to be exposed to a degree of sunlight.

Nursery have just pulled me up for dropping her off without suncream on.

I should add that I have provided a bottle of suncream to the nursery which they apply as & when required so if today was to get much warmer, they have her suncream there.

Cool seeing a Swedish article on here Grin The thing that strikes me with the aversion against sunscreen is that even with sunscreen most of us will still obtain enough vitamin D with enough exposure. I keep putting sunscreen on my ds and myself when I feel the sun coming back, we are getting some color despite that but avoiding getting burned. We both have light complexions so need to be careful.

Zipping Yes you are correct, I of course meant Vitamin D.

My 3 monthly blood tests show supplements do work, and work well.
