Great to know! I just started supplementing vitamin D this year in New England, and it seems like it's really helpful.

I think a big part of my point was about the resiliency of children. It's worrying that new parents are scared to experience the world with their children.

New parents are still getting up to speed on what is a real danger and what isn't. There are plenty of legitimate dangers that require consideration, as well as scary things that are in fact perfectly fine.

This is a common trait of new parents. It weans off; quickly for most.

as a new-ish parent, i'd love to get my kids outside to soak up sunlight but it's nearly impossible to stay outside for any meaningful amount of time in the northeast winter.

I've seen parents schlep <1 year old babies up some of the White Mountains in mild winter conditions (snow on the ground, below 32F, etc). I think you are doing something wrong.
