Table 1: Descriptive statistics of age, gestational age and birth weight of babies

Table 1 shows the descriptive statistics of age, gestational age and birth weight of babies. The average age of the baby was 3.19 hours where the minimum age was 0.33 hours or 20 minutes and maximum age was 11 hours. 1st quartile or 25% of the babies’ age was ≤1 hours, median or 50% age was ≤3 hours and 3rd quartile or 75% age ≤5 hours. The average gestational age was 36.87 weeks whereas minimum and maximum age was 28 weeks, 40 weeks respectively. 25%, 50%, 75% of the babies gestational age ≤36, ≤37, ≤38 weeks respectively. The average birth weight of the babies was 2852.43 gm wherein minimum and maximum birth weight was 1000 gm and 4200 gm respectively. 25%, 50%, 75% of the baby’s birth weight was ≤2500 gm, ≤2800 gm and ≤3200 gm respectively.

Figure 1a represents the bar diagram of babies where 58% male and 42% female respectively. Figure 1b shows 91.09% of the babies born in hospital whereas 8.91% in clinic.

Figure 2a demonstrates that 0.5 gm dose of vitamin K ingestion was given in 97.09% of the babies whereas only 2.91% was given 1 mg dose. Figure 2b presents 87.25% of the babies route of administration was oral wherein 0.99% used IM and 11.76% used IV method.

Figure 3a illustrates 94.12% of the baby Vitamin K ingestion was started at baby cot and 5.88% started at bed. Figure 3b represents 83.50% of the babies delivery method was LSCS and 16.50% was NVD method. The babies of NVD, Vitamin K ingestion was about 15% at baby cot and 2% at bed. Whereas the babies of LSCS, it was about 95% at baby cot and 5% at bed.

Figure 4a and 4b presents 97.09% of the babies have no problem after initiation of Vitamin K ingestion and after initiation of breast feeding. Only 1.94%, 0.97% showed Rash, Urticaria after initiation of Vitamin K in Figure 4a. 2.91% had vomiting after initiation of breast feeding in Figure 4b. All babies started Vitamin K ingestion within hours and Vitamin K ingestion started after umbilical clamping. 82 (79.61%) babies started Vitamin K ingestion after breast feeding and 21(20.39%) started before breast feeding. About 5% of the babies fall in complicacy those who inject vitamin K before breastfeeding and only 2% babies showed complexity those who inject vitamin K after breastfeeding.
