Hi Amanda, Why not delay the Vit K and do both on day 1? We have just stopped giving vit K and weighing the babe in the birth suite so that there is less interruption to the early time between babe and parent/s and first breast feed. We generally give Hep B on day 2 or 3 if the parents want the babe to have it. Regards, Nicole.

I have come from a facility that gives hep B at birth when vitamin k is given. Can anyone shed some light as to why the might do it this way. Any articles. They seem to not know why they do it. I just want to change practice so that can be done at the same time as the vitamin k. Thanks. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
