Should you let your newborn baby get this potentially dangerous shot?

I get a lot of questions about Vitamin K.

This is a routine shot they give to babies after they are born, to help prevent a rare blood clotting problem that very few babies are born with. (1 in 100,000)

Should you let your baby get this shot?

There are pros and cons to it.  Some feel that the shot is linked to childhood leukemia.  Only you can decide if it is right for your baby!

Here are 3 great resources to gather information so you can make the best choice for you and your baby!

Enjoy!
