The gut of a New-born baby is sterile and hence no vitamin K is being produced.\nMoreover vitamin k is negligible in breast milk. In lieu of these factors all babies are susceptible to development of Hemorrhagic disease of New-born.\n• To prevent this from happening therefore, as standard operating procedure in all hospitals injection vitamin K 1 :\n1 mg intramuscular is given to prevent hemorrhagic disease of new born referred to as H.D.N.\n• In our country where a large number of children are born via home deliveries,\nno vitamin K would be given to the child and therefore the child may be brought to the hospital on day 5 with umbilical stump bleeding.\n• For management: the child should be given injection vitamin K lmg intravenously.\nIf bleeding is still present then FFP needs to be administered.
