Part 3 of 3 - In the final part of this interview, Kristen Nagle turns to the theme of newborn care in the hours and days after birth.
The discussion covers vitamin K injections, newborn screening, jaundice management, breastfeeding, and the establishment of healthy physiological processes. Nagle considers how overmedicalized practices became the norm and what the evidence says about parental choice. She also highlights how fear-based narratives have undermined women’s confidence, and points toward the possibility of restoring trust in the body’s innate capacity to give birth and care for newborns.

Routine vitamin K injections continue to raise serious questions. Pharmaceutical product information describes known adverse events that mirror conditions frequently treated in newborns.
All placental mammals are born with naturally lower vitamin K levels that rise after the first week. This consistent physiological pattern challenges the assumption that low levels constitute a deficiency at birth.
Delayed cord clamping allows the newborn to complete the full transfer of blood, oxygen, stem cells, and nutrients from the placenta before the umbilical cord is cut.
Immediate skin-to-skin contact without a hat supports maternal-infant imprinting through smell and helps trigger the natural release of oxytocin in the mother.
Early breastfeeding stimulates further oxytocin release, aiding uterine contraction, reducing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage, and delivering protective colostrum to the newborn.
