Research in the 1990 found, that Vit. K does cross the placenta!! But the placenta does protect the Fetus from artificial (and poisoned) Vit. K in high amounts. In most medical and pharmaceutic readings you get only half of the information, guess why? Heres a part of the study: The amount of vitamin K1 was higher in the treated infants than in the nontreated infants. Although there was no difference in the amount of vitamin K1 in the blood of the mothers who received IM or IM and oral doses combined, the infants born to mothers receiving the combined IM and oral vitamin K1 had higher vitamin K1 levels. Therefore, vitamin K does cross the placenta slowly and in small amounts. (Consumer Summary produced by Reliance Medical Information, Inc.)
