UTAH father Ryan Grassley was charged $39.95 to hold his newborn baby.
Amused and confused by the itemised 'Skin to skin' contact charge on his hospital bill (pictured) he posted a photo of it to Reddit then set up a GoFundMe page to pay the fee.
His tongue-in-cheek page reached its fundraising goal in just 10 hours.
"Any money donated over the $39.35 will be put towards a vasectomy because I never want to go though these sleepless new baby nights again," he wrote on the page.
According to Utah Valley Hospital spokeswoman Janet Frank the extra charge is for the "extra care giver" needed in the operating room when holding the new baby to ensure "both parents remain safe".
