We just gave away the rest of our bottle and there was definitely some left, but I don't think it was the full dosage amount.Hannah Springer-Corverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277430357880570906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878432405146342747.post-24291088159046521462012-03-04T17:29:37.421-05:002012-03-04T17:29:37.421-05:00I'm expecting twins.

Y...Thanks, Vanessa, you bring up some great points. Yes, if born in the hospital I suppose you would have to be EXTREMELY on top of things to make sure drops were administered instead of a shot. You would also have to bring your own drops since hospitals don't provide them.<br /><br />As with all nutrients, in order for breastmilk (or colostrum) to be rich in specific nutrients those nutrients must be present in the mother's diet. Goose liver (probably other livers, too), aged raw cheese from grass-fed cows, natto (fermented soybeans -- eat it if you can get it!), are good things to have in your diet during pregnancy. We can also synthesize vitamin K at the gut level, so a healthy gut is very important. I will write more about this in an upcoming post on preparing your body for transmitting healthy microflora to your baby.Hannah Springer-Corverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277430357880570906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878432405146342747.post-44116025010101818862012-02-12T10:38:46.926-05:002012-02-12T10:38:46.926-05:00Colostrum is also high in vitamin K!

And we only took them for 2-3 weeks.<br /><br />But the kicker is that the only 2 newborn procedures required by NY State Law are the Vit K shot and the PKU/Heel stick/Screening test. Unfortunately, unless one has a home birth, it's virtually impossible to avoid Vit K in the form of a shot. ;(Mama Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102510420296912721noreply@blogger.com
