Pediatrician,  's  Response
Vitamin K is synthesized by the liver in our body. There are no foods rich in Vitamin K. However, there are foods like organ meats which have pre-vitamin K factors that help the synthesis of vitamin K in the body. The more important thing is to have fats that have fat-soluble vitamins, including Vitamins A,D,E and K. Also important is to keep checking the child for possible bleeding-related issues, as deficiency of Vitamin K produces a bleeding tendency in the body. The INR measures this. You should aim to keep the INR between 2 and 3.
