Dear Heather, I am sorry to say that I do know of places where infants are often tested for hypoglycemia by heel stick in the first 1-2 hours after birth. I work there. I gave the WHO guidelines on hypoglycemia to our chief of neonatology 5 months ago and he still has not read them yet. The good news is that we gave a four hour staff inservice on breastfeeding two days ago and will be giving it to the Family Practice Residents in two weeks. Cindy Neary RN
