Vitamin K

My baby is almost 11 weeks old and was given the oral dose at birth and then everyone (us and the hospital) totally forgot about his subsequent doses.

A few weeks ago, I rang up and they said to start the course again and gave the prescription. Well, we’ve forgotten ever since!

Is it too late to give to him now? I’m not sure if he might then end up with too much Vit K in his system as he is older now?

We’re taking him for cranial osteopathy soon and I’ve got this irrational fear that it will bruise him (!) and he won’t have had his vitamin k.

Any idea what to do? X

We never got any additional vitamin k after the one at birth. Didn't even know you needed to or that it was a done thing.
