It is even more difficult to maintain the right level of vitamin D during winter months.
All pregnant women and new mums with a baby under 12 months who live in Kirklees get free maternal supplements. Also all children between the age of 6 months and 4 years also get free vitamin drops.
This is not linked to benefits so it is important that you get signed up for the scheme.
You can speak with your midwife or health visitor or call Yorkshire Children's Centre on 01484 415465 or email [email protected] for a list of the referral centres in your area.
