Is it still the protocol to put a silver compound in newborn baby's eyes? I
was mildly surprised to hear my daughter has been offered this as an option
from her midwife. I knew this was done for the possibility of syphilis caused
blindness previously, but still, with the ability to test for these things? Is
it a silver nitrate compound?
They also offer a Vitamin K pill or tab - what is up with that?
