Denise Fisher mentioned babies refusing the breast following oral doses of
Vitamin K. This was also noted by Michael Woolridge in his talk on
"Behavioral Aspects of Breastfeeding the Normal Newborn" at the July 1995
ILCA conference in Scottsdale, AZ. He said that Vitamin K is bad-tasting
and should not be given in association with early breastfeeding.
