Should Babies Receive the Vitamin K Shot at Birth?

What is your pediatrician not telling you...

Many new parents ask me the same question: Should I allow my newborn to receive the Vitamin K injection? It’s a fair question, and one I believe deserves a thorough and honest discussion. As a mother, advocate, and someone who has spent years researching early childhood health, I want to provide insight into this practice, why it’s become so common, and why you might want to reconsider it.
