Shiv, I think the formula feeding straight after birth is pretty popular here. Thats what happened to me (at a supposedly pro-breastfeeding hospital) and to my friend at another hospital. The MW said the baby was extremely hungry after trying to feed from me for about 1 min (I was post c-section so couldn't move to accommodate LO) and gave him formula. She got formula till my milk came in 2 days later.
As to the glucose thing, the ped told me to drink the glucose when I started BFing to get rid of the jaundice. Just for interests sake, do you think it could have helped or was it just a bunch of bull?
