Dear Stephanie,

I think this document should be helpful for you:

Hypoglycaemia of the Newborn
http://www.who.int/chd/publications/imci/bf/hypoglyc/hypoclyc.htm

For example point 3 of the "Recommendations for Prevention and Management"
states:

3. Healthy term newborns do not develop "symptomatic" hypoglycaemia as a
result of simple underfeeding. If an infant develops signs suggesting
hypoglycaemia (see point 17), look for an underlying condition. Detection
and treatment of the cause is as important as correction of the blood
glucose level.
