I did not receive any responses to my question about blood sugars, so I will phrase it differently. For those who work in the hospital setting, can you tell me what hospital policy is for ordering formula supplementation for low blood sugar? Are moms given a chance to breastfeed or hand express first? When supplementation is ordered, what volumes are being given? Is there any evidence that volume of supplement has an effect on lowering blood sugar?
