Vitamin K

[cdhowlett]

HI,

I don't really know where to post this...

I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out where to get vitamin k drops for the baby...I was reading up on the injections, and found out that a side-effect of the injection is fatality, and if I could use drops that would be better.

If I can't get drops I'd get the injection done, but would rather stay away from the injection.

I haven't ordered from them yet, I assume regular people (not midwives) can. After researching I am planning on getting mine from there. I hope you get some more imput from others who have used it. I'd like to hear.

You can also get it from amazon.

Wow, I didn't know that.

Does anyone know the difference between the amazon and birthwithlove versions? There is a big price difference.
Birth with love 1/2oz is $30
Amazon (Honeycomb Industries) is $9.95

I take alfalfa the last 6 weeks and my babies have never needed vit K, oral or otherwise.

Most babies don't need vitamin K, but you don't know if your baby is one of them until they develop a life-threatening condition.
