[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=2) ... for what? "Oh, well, he could get brain bleeding."

[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=6) Well, what's the, what's the chances of that happening?

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=9) "Well, I, I, I can't tell you." He came out at 30 weeks old, and it was like the first thing- I wanna- "First thing, we, we wanna do vitamin K." And I'm like, "You know, I don't wanna do the vitamin K." "Well, what's your reasoning why you don't wanna do the vitamin K?" It's not just a vitamin K.

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=32) So I, I have to make an educated decision if I'm gonna do this.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=36) I, I'm risking death of my child- ... for what? "Oh, well, he could get brain bleeding."

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=38) ... for what? "Oh, well, he could get brain bleeding."

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=43) Well, what's the, what's the chances of that happening?

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=46) "Well, I, I, I can't tell you." Well, I can't make a educated decision as a father of my children if you can't tell...

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=55) What is the risk versus the reward of, of, of this injection?

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=59) I know the risk is death because that's listed on the label.

[1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=63) And he came back to me the next day, and he said, "I did the research.

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=66) The risk is one in 10,000." I said- ... "Well, I'm not gonna risk death for a one in 10,000 chance of, of a random occurrence of a, of a brain bleeding.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/mRXc4E5jYmGU/en/father-questions-newborn-vitamin-k-shot-and-discusses-oral-drops?t=77) It doesn't make sense to me." He's like, "Okay.
