The study aims to assess the effect of early breastfeeding on hypoglycemia and its management in high-risk newborns in a tertiary care hospital. Methodology: In a tertiary care hospital, data was gathered as part of prospective observational research. After obtaining the parents' informed consent, the research included neonates who were at risk for hypoglycemia. One hour after birth, a heel prick was performed under aseptic conditions, and capillary blood glucose was verified with a glucometer (one touch ultra easy meter). If blood glucose levels below <45 mg/dl were deemed to be hypoglycemia, those infants were transferred to the Special Needs Unit (SNCU), where further management was provided in accordance with the unit protocol. Results: In the study we observed 36% of hypoglycemia and 64% of non-hypoglycemia among the neonates who got early feed initiation and the percentage among non-early initiated neonates was found to be – hypoglycemia (68%), Non-hypoglycemia (32%) and also one case of sepsis with 2.22% was observed. Conclusion: Hereby we conclude 'Caring for a high risk neonate can be mentally and emotionally daunting'. When compared to neonates who started nursing early, neonates without early initiation of breastfeeding had higher percentages of hypoglycemia. To decrease hypoglycemia among high-risk newborns, early breastfeeding should be started on every infant during the initial hour of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
