I'm glad nobody at my place looked in the Red Book! Years ago when I
researched this issue, Wisconsin statutes specified "by one hour." But
when I checked again recently, no time limit was specified, just that it
needed to be done. I was able to use the AAP Policy Statement on
Breastfeeding that reads "Delay weighing,^ measuring, bathing,
needle-sticks, and eye prophylaxis^ until^ after the first feeding is
completed." to get our policy for both eye prophylaxis and vitamin K
injection changed to "by two hours of age." Unless of course, the
parents are well-read, mom is confident she's free of infection, and
they refuse. :-)
