When my 2nd baby was born, I had GD, and quite openly brought with me 
expressed breastmilk from a friend to give to my baby if blood sugar was 
low while I was in surgery or recovery (necessary c-section).  Maybe it 
was my approach to it all, which gave no room for discussion, but Janene 
was given the breastmilk in a syringe, mixed with half glucose water.
