Here's a new one for the annals.  As you know, newborn metabolic screening
must occur >= 24 hours after the first feeding.  However, according to one
nurse at my local hospital, breastfed babies must wait "a couple of" days
before the newborn screening can be done because "all the baby got was
colostrum and that doesn't really count as a feeding."

Oh. My. Goodness.

Having to restrain herself from going ballistic,
