When your newborn baby is just 1 to 2 hours old, their normal blood glucose levels can be as low as 25 mg/dL or as high as 110 mg/dL. Within the first few days after delivery, their blood...
Blood glucose is measured in millimoles per litre (mmol/L). For newborn babies, their first blood glucose level should be at least 1.8 mmol/L. After their first glucose level, every level after should be greater than 2.6 mmol/L. Your baby may need treatment if their blood glucose levels are too low.

This clinical pathway guides clinicians in caring for neonates who require blood glucose monitoring in the first 48 hours of life.
What is the normal level of blood glucose in a baby? Blood glucose is measured in millimoles per litre (mmol/L). Newborn babies should be treated when a single blood glucose test is less than 2.6 mmol/L in the first 72 hours of life, but by 72 hours of age should be greater than 3.3 mmol/L.
Start glucose protocol, feed within the 1st hr of life. Check glucose immediately if symptomatic. If not, check glucose within 1st hour of life and at 3,6,12 and 24 hr of life. Glucose ≥ 45 mg/dL. Glucose 25 – 44 mg/dL.
Blood glucose levels change with age and are usually lower in newborn babies than in older children and adults. When babies are just 1 hour to 2 hours old, the normal level is just under 2 mmol/L, but it will rise to adult levels (over 3 mmol/L) within two to three days.
