In principle, neonates with a birth weight < 1500 g should receive 10% glucose in continuous IV infusion for the first 48 hours of life (Appendix 5). If the neonate is clinically stable, very small amounts of breast milk of 10 ml/kg per day can be started on D1 while awaiting transfer to a neonatal care unit.
If it is not possible to administer an IV infusion or to transfer to a neonatal care unit, give expressed breast milk and 10% glucose together orally as per the tables below.
