Weekend Doctor: Vitamin K after birth is a lifesaving medication

Posted by Staff on Sunday, February 2, 2025

Pediatricians consider medications given to newborn babies very carefully. There are generally plenty of safety data and studies evaluating if the benefits of a medication outweigh the potential harms. If we are encouraging you to give a medication to your baby, it’s because we feel that it is potentially lifesaving. 

One medication recommended for all newborns is Vitamin K. Vitamin K (phytonadione) is a fat-soluble vitamin that is necessary for blood to clot. We also need this vitamin in our bodies to stop bleeding from cuts and bruises. 

Vitamin K does not cross the placenta and is poorly excreted in breast milk. Also, due to differences in the gut microbiome in babies, it is poorly absorbed when we try to supplement it by mouth. The only way to give it to babies in the United States is by a one-time injection when they are newborns.

In the spirit of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, Ohio Northern University students came together this week to give back to their community, focusing on those who have given so much throughout their lives—the elderly.

“What better way to give back than to support those who have sacrificed and contributed throughout their lives?” said John Copes, IV, accounting and marketing major, AmeriCorps member, and coordinator of ONU’s Student Resource Center.

Students assembled and hand-delivered more than 90 care packages for residents of Vancrest of Ada, a local assisted living and elderly care home, brightening their day with thoughtful gifts and personal connections.
