Hi we decided not to do vitamin K and Hep B injects at birth. Mainly because I think that is a horrible way to enter the world. To say it was frowned upon is an understatement. I recieved many lectures from ped about it mainly because if you don't do the inject bub needs three oral doses 1 on day 1 one on day 5 or 7 I think and then another a week or two later (again I've forgotten the details) and most people don't finish the course. We did and it was fine. The other reasons include additives in the injection of vit K. We chose not to have hep B at birth because DH and I had immunty and were not in a high risk group. Unfortunately my immunity has disappeared with this pg so it looks like this bubba will have to have the jab
