We live in MI and have long dreary winters also. I disagree about the Flintstones being enough. I supplement myself and my daughter with Vitamin D in the winter (you can get some gummy vitamin D for your son). I give her the Flintstone plus two gummy vitamin D per day. If you think about it, Vitamin D isn't a byproduct of any food, milk and whole grain cereals are enriched with it, but that is not enough to give your body what it needs. I know I feel much better when I take the Vitamin D.
Edited to add: the lamps (just like natural sunlight) help your body produce Vitamin D. So supplementing should be sufficient.
