The WHO review of the literature contains lots of references. I would point out though, that the recommendations say that there is no evidence of damage to the full term child of *asymptomatic* hypoglycemia. It also says that there is no reason to do routine blood sugars in full term healthy newborns. So asymptomatic babies don't get blood sugars done. By the way, the paper recommends *not* doing bedside testing at all. Furthermore, if the baby already has an IV why on earth would he need formula. The baby should be at the breast and breastfeeding. He should be getting, at the very least, expressed colostrum, not formula. Jack Newman, MD, FRCPC
