Hello
Hemorrhagic disease of the newborn is a rare bleeding problem that can occur after birth. Hemorrhaging is excessive bleeding. Its a potentially life-threatening condition.

The condition is caused by vitamin K deficiency. As a result, its often called vitamin K deficiency bleeding, or VKDB. Vitamin K plays a key role in blood clotting. Because vitamin K is not efficiently passed on from mother to baby in utero, most babies are born with low stores of this vitamin in their system.

VKDB is categorized according to the timing of first symptoms:

• early onset occurs within 24 hours of birth
• classic onset occurs within two to seven days
• late onset occurs within two weeks to six months

Goodluck I hope this helps you
