A recent article in my local newspaper was about illnesses that mimic child
abuse. It talked of a case of an Amish girl who had a disorder of Vit K.
It went on to say that today babies receive an injection of Vit K at birth
and in infant formula but this girl was delivered by a midwife then
breastfed and received neither.
Doesnt sound good does it.
I will send the editor a letter clarifing about breastfeeding. J
ust to make it clear there are midwives how give Vit K correct? Is there any
office midwife policy about this?
thanks,
Rob
