Debbie,
The AAP recently stated that no baby needs fluoride supplements regardless of
water content until 6 months of age, and then amount of supplementation
depends on water content of fluoride.
I still struggle with the Vit. K issue and wonder if we won't discover
somewhere along the line that adequately bf babies have enough Vit. K.
without giving exogenous. But it may be a long time before we see that.
Meanwhile, Timothy, having not received either Vit. K or stuff in his eyes
after birth can both see and doesn't bleed excessively.
