Vitamin K is essential for normal blood clotting and helps protect newborn babies from serious bleeding. While most babies receive Vitamin K shortly after birth, we provide a catch-up service for babies who may have missed their initial dose.
Our experienced clinicians can review your baby’s medical history, explain the procedure and answer any questions before treatment.
The procedure involves a single intramuscular Vitamin K injection, usually administered into the baby’s thigh. The injection is quick, with your clinician taking care to keep your baby comfortable throughout the visit.
