  Vitamin K for newborns… I have witnessed this topic gets emotional very quickly.

  It is often presented as simple, routine and not really up for discussion. But for parents, especially those trying to make informed decisions for a brand-new baby, “routine” is not enough.

  IMA Senior Fellow and pediatrician Dr. Katherine Welch joined The National Desk to talk about vitamin K shots for newborns, including potential risks, informed consent, alternatives, and why parents deserve clear, balanced information before making medical decisions.

  I really like this short interview. It’s balanced, short and a great conversation starter.
