I have been doing a lot of research on what happens after you give birth in a hospital. I am struggling with weather or not I should give my baby the eye drops once he is born. My doctor said it is not necessary but highly recommended. He said the only way the baby can get pink eye is if you've had an STD (which I haven't and have been tested) but my doctor has also stated it is completely harmless. Will you give your baby the eye drops once he/she is born ?

"Ilotycin is an antibiotic ointment is routinely put in the eyes of all newborns to prevent neonatal conjunctivitis (pink eye). While Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are the most serious pathogens that are treated with ilotycin, this treatment also prevents less severe infection with other common bacteria such as e. coli."
