Rationale 1: Newborns of diabetic mothers can require more frequent feedings.
Rationale 2: If the newborn's blood sugar level falls below 45 mg/dl, and if normal levels cannot be maintained by early feedings of formula or breast milk, the newborn might require intravenous infusions of D10W, along with oral feedings, to maintain normoglycemia.
Rationale 3: The newborn should be assessed for hypocalcemia.
Rationale 4: Hyperbilirubinemia can occur 4872 hours after birth.
