Oh my goodness.

I found it on line here: 
http://www.healio.com/pediatrics/journals/PedAnn/%7B9EBFA1F2-CF3B-4EEC-942E-F2558628E6C9%7D/Simple-Checklist-for-the-Full-Term-Healthy-Newborn-Visit

It's absolutely *awful*.......way, way, way out of date. Talks about 
limiting feeds in time and frequency.  And that's just one of the 
major errors.


Perhaps someone in the US should write to the journal and the doc and 
correct this? I would, but it's not a UK journal.

(I was also interested to see the formula feeding info - in the UK 
the ruke is to mix powder with boiled water which has been allowed to 
cool to no more than 70 deg C  (still v. hot). This is pan-European 
guidance, evidence-based. The doc here says tap water is fine.)
