Back in 1989 or so, WHO/UNICEF published a darling little booklet, with a blue and black cover that said something like, "Under normal circumstances, the healthy term newborn needs no food or drink for 4 days, while lactation is being established."

Do we ever birth under normal circumstances any more?
