In the first week of a babies life, there is low blood clotting ability, which has led to the occasional death of a baby. These deaths have occurred when the mother and baby have been separated, causing great anxiety for both. These deaths are very rare, but is why Vitamin K has been introduced as a routine medical practice at birth.

However, the vitamin K injection at birth is related to cancer and leukemia in later life. One must ask the question, why has nature done this? The reason will one day be obvious. Meanwhile parents can rest assured no haemorrhages are likely if homoeopatrhy has been used effectively for the mother after the birth and for any injury the baby may sustain, just as from forceps delivery.
