Here in South Florida, at least in our system, the Blood Sugar has to be 40 or above the first 24 hrs (this may have changed to first 12 hours...I will check when I am at work next week....maybe one of the IBCLCs will see this and know from one of our other hospitals.  We just had a change recently.  After that the baby has to have 3 above 50.  There was a rumor if a nurse wanted to "spot check" a baby not on protocol then she would have to put the baby on protocol.  (The spot checks are because a nurse is trying to buy time...proof baby is ok but going a little longer without a feed for instance after a circ, etc)That rumor was not true but unfortunately a lot of nurses are doing that.  So we are in the process of trying to resolve it.
