Can I ask how long it is until the bub is in the "safe" stage. ie if we chose oral I know there is follow up doses, but at what age is it considered babies are getting enough vit K? I will be breastfeeding, and if my birth is like the others, there was no forceps etc. Although DD2 was VERY fast would that be enough cause for concern, being pushed out in minutes?
I will go and do some research now.
We are not getting Hep B as I believe a newborn baby doesn't need pain or stress. I feel it's too much to give them that kind of stress on day one. Babies can feel pain so accutely as they feel it with all their being and are unable to determine where or what it is. THey also don't have fight and flight at that age and it worries me as to what happens with the pain they are feeling. I will however have to get the vax from 2 months as bub will have two older siblings who have both been recently exposed to Whooping cough....
