I thought meconium poisoning happens awhile AFTER birth. Whether they are suctioned or not. I cant understand how suctioning a baby in its throat would get fluid out of its lungs? I would assume once its aspirated into the lungs in utero its done. That said I havent seen a case of meconium poisoning since that documentary 'Losing Laila' a few years back. And even that was caused by Dr incompetence.
