Babies are born with low vitamin k for a reason. At birth, cord blood is full of stem cells that go to any damaged sites in the baby where any trauma may have happened during birth. If babies had high levels of Vitamin K at birth, the cord blood wouldn't reach these necessary areas. This is one of the reasons why delayed cord clamping is so important!
Additionally, colostrum contains higher concentrations of Vitamin K than mature breast milk. This isn't a mistake or coincidence; it's part of God's design. It also contains 100 mcg of aluminum and has black box waning.
WARNING: HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS WITH INTRAVENOUS AND INTRAMUSCULAR USE
Fatal hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have occurred during and immediately after intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) injection of phytonadione. These reactions have included cardiac and/or respiratory arrest. Restrict IV/IM use to situations where the subcutaneous route is not feasible and the serious risk involved is considered justified.
