Hiya ladies...my midwife has been talking about vitamin K for my baby when he is born and if i would like him to have it and if i would like him to have it in injection form or orally? What are all you ladies going to do? or what have you done in the past? xx

God i've never even heard of it, better get some research done! My MW hasn't mentioned anything about this yet

Mia just got vitamin K drops in her eyes right after birth.

Rhys had it orally and we'll be opting for the same this time

Carly and Ella had the injection

We're going for the oral meds. I don't want her first few minutes to be scarier than they have to be. We're also opting out of the silver nitrate in her eyes until she's a least an hour old.

Faith had the injection and so will my next one x

My MW only gives it if she feels it is necessary.

im having injection x well LO is x

Orally if i get a choice - there are risks associated with the injection but i dont remember what, What is silver nitrate for?
