      I forgot to mention during the Homebirth and Midwifery Webinar, an alternative for the Vit K shot for newborns born in the hospital. I use these for my now 4 month old when she was born. She has had no meds other than these and saline solution for when she’s congested. Also, I increased my Vit K rich foods (collards, kale, cabbage, spinach, turnip greens, avocado, blueberries, kiwi, etc) before and after she was born so she would get it from my breast milk.

        Yes! Meda ase Sistar! Vit K can be given orally and Vit D is very important to be provided to baby early on. These as any nutrient are best provided naturally through foods and nutrition, but supplementation of Vit D if often needed because many of us are deficient now due to lack of natural sun and denatured food consumption. Thank you for adding on with this!

        I will ask if they’ve joined yet. We talked about it after the presentation and they were excited. I’ll also bring it up at our next meeting.
