>Hi Kris

Concerning your infant with the drop in glucose.  Could this baby have been
cold stressed initially? This will drop the glucose levels quickly and they
take time to go back up.  However you noted a slightly elevated temp could
this baby be septic?  Hypoglycemic babies often have poor suck.  What drugs
did this mother receive in labour?  Demerol could be responsible for the
behaviour and takes a long time to clear.  Just a few suggestions let us
know the outcome. Good luck.
