A member asked:

Is it mandatiry for all hospitals to test babies first poop?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Unless there is reason to test it it will go in the trash. A past history of drug abuse by a mother, protective service surveillance, or babies with withdrawal symptoms would all prompt such a study. Hospitals do make sure babies have had their first poop before going home.
