I'm due to give birth and I'm still undecided about giving my consent for the vit k shot or drops. I've read up on it and it seems there aren't many downsides of giving it yet if baby is at any risk, it seems sensible. I just don't like to go down the 'just in case' route if there's no need.
Added to that, I will exclusively formula feed my baby (no choice - I've had double mastectomy) and all articles I've found only mention higher risks of VKDB if breast feeding. For obvious reasons (promoting breast feeding), there is no detail on whether formula fed babies really need it. Any views?
