FEED: Initial feeding should be within 1 hr of birth with glucose screening 30 minutes after the feed; CHECK: If blood glucose is lower than 25mg/dl, feed again then check BS in 1 hr of feeding. INTERVENE: IV glucose (200mg/kg) is initiated if glucose is lower than 25mg/dl (RAPID BOLUSES AVOIDED= IVH!!)
