Spending at least 20 minutes a day in sunlight is important for the child to receive adequate vitamin D. However, it is important to note that sun exposure should be balanced with the risk of skin cancer and sunburn. Other choices are incorrect: dairy products are a good source of vitamin D and should not be avoided; both brand name and generic vitamin D are effective; and vitamin D can be taken with food if needed to prevent stomach upset.
