Early Breast Feeding and Glucose Levels in High Risk Newborns

NCT00332449 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2008-04-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Early breast feeding has shown to be important to mother-infant bonding and is associated with longer duration of breast feeding. However, little data is available regarding its contribution to glucose levels in the newborn infants. Newborns that are at risk to develop hypoglycemia may benefit from early breast feeding if this appears to prevent post-partum hypoglycemia.
