Can newborns drink glucose powder

Newborns should not drink glucose powder, the main ingredient of which is glucose. If a newborn has hypoglycemia, he or she can take glucose orally. But in general if the newborn baby eats normal amount of milk, that is to say, the milk consumption is better and the sugar content in the milk is enough for the newborn baby’s needs. If the newborn is given additional glucose powder, it can lead to an increase in blood sugar, which will lead to an increase in insulin secretion in the newborn, and once the oral glucose powder is stopped, it may lead to hypoglycemia in the newborn. Therefore, it is not advocated to give glucose powder to newborns, except in the case of hypoglycemia, and oral glucose should be given only after the doctor’s guidance.
