Re: Vitamin K injection given to newborns @ birth?

[Guest guest]

I would search this group for " Vitamin K " and you should get a lot

of info. It has been discussed here several times and not too long

ago.

it is to help the blood clot.

I know some people are against it, but I haven't had any problems with

it. it's not a true vaccine and AFAIK, vit K shot is benign. there are

much more important battles to me.

I also did have rhogam and it did have thimerasol in it and I was

nervous about that but I didn't know what to substitute it with.

I thought that some information here not too long ago said that the Vit K

shot was linked to leukemia.

Yes, you are correct, Trish. Sheri N. sent many post regarding this in the

past. They should be available by searching the list's achives.

Hi,

I have been no mail for a long time but recently rejoined.

I vaccinated my son (5) for the first 6 months but I was worried about it so

I stopped. My daughter (2.5) has never had a shot. I gave her liquid

vitamin K instead of the shot when she was born, which I bought from a

pharmacy. It was very easy to give, no problems at all. It was a great

solution for me and my midwives were comfortable with it.

My daughter's hospital birth was very traumatic, but we knew we weren't

going to give a vit. K injection. Our doctor was very supportive of

giving it orally, but we had to fight with the nurses who just wanted to

give her a shot or use an artificial nipple to give it to her.

I don't know if the oral vit. K actually did anything, but with all the

trauma that my daughter had to her head from the delivery, I felt better

giving it to her.

We never even discussed Vit. K when my son was born. The birth was much

less traumatic (of course), and so I wasn't concerned.

See my rhogam pages and certainly don't need it while still pregnant

Hemmoragic disease of the newborn is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY rare, and they

give it with the idea that the vit K will prevent it. How they can know

X prevents Y when Y is SO RARE.....I have no clue. It is a theoretical

thing I think. It is NORMAL for mammals to have low vit K levels at

birth, steadily increasing over the first few days of life....why tinker

with something that is normal AND inject unecessary stuff into a newborn?

My son had Vit K but I did not know any better at the time. I wouldn't

do it again.

If you worry about HND, there are things you can do to increase your own

Vit K intake and that can help....and there is oral Vit K

available....but I still would question its necessity.
