While I am at it I would like to know what the protocol is for vitaminK administration for Breasfed babies in your different settings. Here in France there is a growing trend saying that bf babies must be supplemented weekly with vitk for as long as they are breasfed exclusiveley . Of course most of the doctors who have decided this have no idea that a baby should be exclusively breastfed for 6 months! I would like to know if this protocol is advocated elsewhere . I would just like to add a little anecdote which may interest some of you . I saw a program on wolves on TV a few days ago ,and they were discussing how mankind had made dogs out of wolves over the evolution . It seems that this happened a very long time ago and that they would have had to take very young pups to domesticate them ,but how were those pups fed ? At the time men had no other domestic animals, so it seems that the first substitute milk used on earth was women's milk for litle animals. They showed some tribes in remote areas where women nurse litlle puppies and piglets as a proof of their theory!! Gisele Laviolle LLLL, IBCLC
