Topic: Vitamin K for Newborns: Unraveling Social Media Myths from Research-Based Facts - [View Abstract]
Vitamin K deficiency bleeding in newborns, a problem of the past, has been thrust into the spotlight due to myths spread on social media. In this session with Dr. Rebecca Dekker of Evidence Based Birth, we will unravel common reasons for refusing the Vitamin K shot, including fears of the “Black Box Warning” and beliefs that the injection is synthetic, toxic, unsafe, or unnatural. You’ll walk away with an in-depth understanding of the newest research on Vitamin K, including evidence on oral drops vs. the shot, and the benefits and risks of each. Don’t miss this chance to strengthen your knowledge of Vitamin K for newborns so that you can have more informed conversations with your coworkers and clients!
