I just remembered that I was supposed to ask this question yesterday so for 
those who know, a rapid response would be appreciated.  Mom of 3 1/2 mos 
breastfed baby is having blood drawn for iron level per genetist (sp?), and has been 
told baby must not have anything to "eat" for four hours.  Is this usual and 
why?

Thanks!
