Key Points

  • To review existing literature on treatment thresholds for hypoglycaemia in well, term, asymptomatic newborns.
  • Reviewed high-quality research on hypoglycaemia treatment thresholds.
  • Critically appraised methodological challenges in current studies.
  • Evaluated the impact of treatment on breastfeeding and bonding.
  • Found a lack of rigorous research to define safe treatment thresholds.
  • Identified potential negative impacts of treatment on breastfeeding and bonding.
  • Highlighted the necessity for future research to inform clinical practice.

Published high quality research is lacking to inform a therapeutic treatment threshold for hypoglycaemia in well, term asymptomatic newborns in the first 24 hours. Current treatment may interfere with breastfeeding and bonding. Rigorous research is required to establish a safe threshold and inform future practice.
