> Infants are supposed to get vitamin K and other nutrients from breastfeeding, but we push formula.

This is literally nonsense.

From the article:

> All newborns lack vitamin K. No matter how much vitamin K a mother consumes, it doesn’t sufficiently pass through the placenta, and breast milk contains only small amounts. That puts babies who are exclusively breastfed at a higher risk for vitamin K deficiency bleeding. Formula is fortified with vitamin K, but even with that, experts agree, babies should still get the shot.

Is it possible that this article might have an agenda and is less than 100% accurate?

Big K is at it again!
