Talk to your doctor and midwife about Vitamin K

You may want to use the information on this website as a starting point for conversations with your doctor and midwife about Vitamin K. 

You might want to ask for their thoughts on: 

• the risks and benefits of Vitamin K for newborns 
• the pros and cons of injected, oral, or no Vitamin K supplement. 
• Vitamin K trial data, or studies into safety. Can they help you access these? 

You could also ask them to talk you through the Patient Information Leaflet. 

When Push Comes to Shove, a maternity training body focused on medical freedom and informed consent, offers this template letter on their website, which you may want to share with a medical professional.
