Hypoglycemia in neonates is a serious yet preventable condition that can lead to lifelong disability. If feeding is unsuccessful admission to the special care unit for intravenous glucose is usually indicated, separating the mother and baby. This quality improvement explores if glucose gel administration prevents the need for IV glucose.
