Vitamins are essential substances for the human body, especially babies. Patients at risk for vitamin K deficiency are those taking long-term broad-spectrum antibiotics or those with fat malabsorption for a variety of reasons, including disorders of biliary or pancreatic secretion.

The cause of hemorrhagic disease in newborns is because the immune system and blood clotting function of newborns are still very poor. Therefore, when signs of subcutaneous hemorrhage appear in newborns, it is a very dangerous condition that can lead to death in children.

Vitamin K helps regulate and support the blood clotting process in the body. If unfortunately deficient, blood clotting function will be affected, leading to the risk of bleeding and possibly death. Therefore, supplementing vitamin K properly and in sufficient doses is extremely necessary.

Monitoring and caring for the mother and newborn within the first 2 hours after birth plays a very important role, helping to ensure a safe birth and a safe delivery. At the same time, postpartum care must be carried out according to the prescribed time frames immediately after birth and within the first 6 weeks after birth.

Even though the birth was difficult and the baby was delivered, it is not necessarily safe. There are still some unusual situations that can happen to the mother and baby on the first day after birth that need to be handled promptly or else it will be life-threatening.

When your baby is born, he or she will be checked to make sure that he or she is healthy. Midwives will use the Apgar score to evaluate your baby at 1 minute and 5 minutes of life. These scores will be recorded in the patient's medical record.
