The doctrine stresses newborns cannot be poked or prodded for medical tests or spoken to for seven days.

Bull-cookies. My kids responded very well to my voice right after birth. And how do you find out if the kid is healthy if you can't poke the baby. Methinks Tommy Cruise himself currently has single digit Apgar tests scores.

Didn't notice this one until now. Insanity. I had an Indian pediatrician in the hospital (first born again) tell me that I wasn't supposed to kiss the baby's face. Ha! That didn't happen. My babies are all very cuddled.
