Does anyone know of any info on this? I'm due in a few weeks, and I've been researching this, and getting conflicting things on it. Basically I do think it wise to give them vitamin K, but why in a shot!!! I do not think the hospital even offers an oral dose though I plan and seeing if it is a possibility at all. I was reading about this on Mercola's site, and its just so overwhelming.

 

Can some Moms or anyone really on here tell me what they think? Or am I making a big deal out of it?
