I have been told that the
very first injection my baby is likely to receive will be a Vitamin K shot and
this will be give as soon as she is born.
Ouch, that seems harsh to
me.
You mean my baby will go
through the stress of labour, and then before she gets a proper
cuddle with mum and dad, and a good feed, you are going to jab her with a
needle and put foreign substances into her body?
What's this all about???
Not only that, but some
mums I have spoken to about this in Thailand weren't even aware this happened to their baby,
it is something that is considered standard and often gets done when baby is
whisked away for checks and you may only find out about it on the bill.
So in the spirit of GET
INFORMED, GIVE TRUE CONSENT I thought this was well worth a google.
