In this informative episode, we sit down with Carly, a postpartum educator from Fourth Trimester Foundations, to discuss the three medications/vaccines routinely offered to newborns at the hospital - vitamin K shot, erythromycin ointment, and hepatitis B vaccine.

Carly breaks down the purpose, potential benefits, and risks of each intervention in a balanced, easy-to-understand way. We cover common questions like: Is the vitamin K shot really necessary? What is erythromycin used for in newborns? Do newborns need the hep B vaccine right away?

Whether you're an expecting parent trying to make informed decisions or a new mom/dad looking for clarity, this open conversation provides valuable insights. Carly shares resources and tips for having conversations with healthcare providers too.

Tune in to get educated about newborn medications and vaccines so you can confidently navigate this aspect of those first precious days with your baby
