Glucose levels of 40 to 45 mg/dL are considered the normal lower limit for up to 72 hours after birth.

If my baby's blood glucose keeps going below 50 mg/dL in the next 24 hours, they will need intravenous glucose.

When my umbilical cord was clamped, my baby lost its source of glucose.

As long as I breastfeed my baby frequently, their blood glucose levels should improve.

It is common for term newborns to experience transient hypoglycemia within the first few hours of life.

The skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth promotes thermoregulation and stabilizes glucose levels.
