I agree that now it is less important as, at her age, she is rather oblivious to the cultural differences. Even here in the States though, as they approach 5-6, kids want to shed their UV suits - which brings up the same issues you faceMC Milkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04349247004635678939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-16375184192119913042007-06-16T15:28:19.405+02:002007-06-16T15:28:19.405+02:00A mio parere la sua è una esagerazione.

The body can rely on tissue stores of vitamin D for between 30 and 60 days. <BR/><BR/>You need to expose your face and your hands to the sun for about 30 minutes during non-peak hours to get adequate vitamin D for 30 to 60 day storage. You don't need to get that exposure naked in the midday sun at the beach.Caroline in Romehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08305801540206827722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-565364539518253732007-06-14T15:45:25.079+02:002007-06-14T15:45:25.079+02:00TracieB: what's better, a peeling pink nose or a bout of rachitis? Vitamin D drops are not good: the rate at which this vitamin is absorbed through food and medicines is so low that it results as totally useless. The only sure vay to store up enough D vitamin to last you through the year is by exposing to the sun, avoiding the hottest hours, for at least 30 minutes each day.Typesetterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13406741029444422912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-85661087111535465462007-05-30T17:06:23.766+02:002007-05-30T17:06:23.766+02:00you are soooo right. i am so tired of seeing kids with peeling pink noses, the ignorance is almost as irritating as the typical carseat-less baby and un restrained child!<BR/><BR/>ma che vuoi fare!<BR/><BR/>thanks for visiting :)Tracie B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16220560234729129259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-61157522091662294152007-05-09T06:58:44.253+02:002007-05-09T06:58:44.253+02:00Great blog. I hope you'll explore more about the cultural differences and also give us an insider's view of Rome. I'm going to be writing a post soon about great expat mom blogs and I hope it's ok if I add you to it! <BR/><BR/>(and you know me on MDC by another name, hint hint montessori hint)Wabash Cannonballhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02942868357283639564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263424657289079822.post-20947937572953622382007-05-08T19:54:50.580+02:002007-05-08T19:54:50.580+02:00Love it!<BR/>Welcome to blogging and to Rome. <BR/>My kids are now 18 and 19 and I struggled with the whole sunscreen issue when they were younger as we spent summers at the beach in Sabaudia. I guess we just have different skin (which is also true) in addition to cultural beliefs. See you on Thursday at the AWAR elections?Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09763064258020825441noreply@blogger.com
