The administration of Vitamin K to infants has become almost
                        mandatory. The tradition began in the 50's when mother's and
                        baby's were separated at birth and therefore, the baby was unable
                        to get the VK from the collostrum. This is no longer the case.
                        Mother and baby are rarely separated at birth now so there is no
                        need for the shot. It has many risks involved. If there were no risks
                        involved, it wouldn't be contraversial.

                        I urge every woman to completely research the risks involved with
                        this routine before they say "yes" to the shot. There have been
                        numerous studies that show a link between VK and cancer,
                        jaundice, psychological and physiological problems.
