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 Rob Cordes, DO, FAAP, FACOP general pediatrician Wilkes Barre PA mailto:[log in to unmask] *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
