Just watching Maternity Room.... A Question for US members?

A baby has just been delivered and I noticed that they took prints of his feet, why do they do this?..... They don't do this in UK

For identification and a memento for the parents.

Thanks ......... For a second I thought that it was to have prints on everyone in the country to go on record
