Christine and others:
As we are looking at a new bfdg policy...I looked to ACOG and AWHONN and  
AAP.  Basically, their standards of practice state those things should be  
delayed until first breastfeeding, an hour or more is certainly ok.  Now  Vit K does 
say within 1 hour, eye drops,wts is delay up to 1 hour OR UNTIl first  
breastfeeding.  So there is some wiggle room in policy making.  As far  as 
temperature regulation, there is little documentation on skin to skin, just  noting 
temp regulation is important factor...so with right documentation of skin  to 
skin benefits, you should be able to tie that right in.
