We did a quality improvement project at my hospital in which we encouraged moms whose babies were at high risk for hypoglycemia to keep their babies skin to skin for the duration of the blood sugar testing period. We reduced admissions to the NICU significantly without seeing an increase in formula supplementation. Here is a link the article we published: http://journals.lww.com/pqs/Citation/2017/07000/Effects_of_Skin_to_Skin_Care_on_Late_Preterm_and.3.aspx
