    This study on VitaminDWiki has the following title
    Five times less mite allergy when vitamin D added in mid pregnancy and to infant – RCT April 2016
    There are ~ 30 other similar studies there. Higher vitamin D doses and vitamin D given earlier would most likely provide 10X or perhaps 15X better response.
