At birth the baby’s intestinal tract has no bacteria to make the vitamin, but throughout the first week of life bacteria levels and vitamin K levels naturally increase. Newborns are routinely given a vitamin K injection in most hospitals to prevent Vitamin K Deficiency Disease, a rare but deadly bleeding condition. This type of internal bleeding in a newborn can lead to internal damage, brain damage and even death if undetected. The injection is given in the first hour of life. THIS IS NOT A VACCINATION. Vitamin K deficiency symptoms occur in approximately 6/100,000 newborns who don’t receive any supplementation; some statistics quote as high as 1/100 newborns. Some parents object to their newborn receiving painful routine injections; some dislike the preservatives in the injections, some dislike giving a coal tar derivative.

“I’m not a tech guy and I was able to pick this thing up in probably an hour, and actually start to build apps. I’ve done them over lunch when I’ve gotten frustrated with a process that didn’t exist in our company. So for non tech people who’ve got a problem, the support here is awesome and I’d recommend it to anybody, not just in our industry.”
