Testing for vitamin K in newborns.

2018-01-02 04:20:02
Mom and I decided against the vitamin K shot after birth for our son. We plan on oral vitamin k and utilizing the breast milk aspect to deliver the vitamin K. I have a high suspicion that the hospital has administered the shot anyway. Is there a test to see if they gave him the Vitamin K shot?
