What would be the standard of care for a healthy 35 week, asymptomatic infant 
with a glucose of around 42 at 9 hours of age?  I would be interested in knowing 
how this differs from institution to institution.  I would also be interested in 
knowing the evidence behind colostrum being contraindicated (due to low volume, 
even though all the sources I can find support using colostrum) as a supplement 
(if it is even needed), and evidence supporting why at breast supplementation is 
contraindicated (due to energy expenditure being cited as more for bf than 
bottle, even though I found this supporting basically equivalent energy 
expenditure 
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/124/6/e1149).

I know I must be missing something, and would like more information.  And yes, I 
have read the ABM protocol.
