Not Alone: I have seen a few cases of rickets, in babies who drink primarily breast milk and no other foods. Offer her a variety of different foods and encourage her to eat them. Try to limit the amount of breast milk that she takes each day as she may become anemic and develop rickets at this age without a well balanced diet.
