Father charged to hold his baby for the first time

After the long months of anticipation and wondering how the baby will look, being afforded the opportunity to finally get to hold him/her is priceless.
But one dad was unfortunately made to pay for this experience. Ryan Grassley took to Reddit to share his shock at receiving a medical bill, stating that he has to fork out a whopping $39.35 (about R550) for skin-to-skin contact with his newborn baby.
