             in numerous long-term health benefits for both mother and newborn and is recommended
             by a number of national and international organizations. Evidence suggests that
             the prenatal and intrapartum period is critical for the success of exclusive (or
             any) breast feeding. Therefore, it is recommended that newborns are fed breast
             milk only from birth to discharge.</td>

  <rationale value="Exclusive breast milk feeding for the first 6 months of neonatal life has long
   been the expressed goal of World Health Organization (WHO), Department of Health
   and Human Services (DHHS), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and American College
   of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). ACOG has recently reiterated its position
   (ACOG, 2007). A recent Cochrane review substantiates the benefits (Kramer et al.,
   2002). Much evidence has now focused on the prenatal and intrapartum period as
   critical for the success of exclusive (or any) BF (Centers for Disease Control
   and Prevention [CDC], 2007; Petrova et al., 2007; Shealy et al., 2005; Taveras
   et al., 2004). Exclusive breast milk feeding rate during birth hospital stay has
   been calculated by the California Department of Public Health for the last several
   years using newborn genetic disease testing data. Healthy People 2010 and the CDC
   have also been active in promoting this goal."/> 
  <clinicalRecommendationStatement value="Exclusive breast milk feeding for the first 6 months of neonatal life can result
   in numerous long-term health benefits for both mother and newborn and is recommended
   by a number of national and international organizations. Evidence suggests that
   the prenatal and intrapartum period is critical for the success of exclusive (or
   any) breast feeding. Therefore, it is recommended that newborns are fed breast
   milk only from birth to discharge."/>

  <guidance value="A discharge to a designated cancer center or children's hospital should be captured
   as a discharge to an acute care facility. It is acceptable to calculate Gestational
   Age using the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ReVITALize guidelines,
   which define Gestational Age as calculated using the best obstetrical Estimated
   Due Date (EDD) based on the formula: Gestational Age= (280-(EDD-Reference Date))/7
   where Reference Date is the date on which you are trying to determine gestational
   age. For PC-05, Reference Date is the Birth Date. Note however that the calculation
   may yield a non-whole number and gestational age should be rounded off to the nearest
   completed week. For example, an infant born on the 5th day of the 36th week (35
   weeks and 5/7 days) is at a gestational age of 35 weeks, not 36 weeks."/>
