Dear Gloria,

"Hospitals should have an informed consent waiver that the couple can sign to 
refuse treatment."  
It is my understanding that parents can sign a waiver.  However, I may be 
wrong, Jeanette correct  me if I am.



Newborn sticky eye can be treated very effectively with washes of breast milk 
or saline solution in the first few days after birth

Its not the sticky eye, that AAP is worried about.  Its the bad stuff like STD's 
that can potentially cause blindness.  At least that what I know of the 
reasons.   Hopefully, just stating the facts, as I know them.
