How much glucose should be given to newborns?

We often use glucose through drips. Glucose can be drunk. It contains glucose. Glucose is a kind of soup. If too much glucose is consumed, it can easily lead to diabetes in the human body, which seriously affects the health of the body. In particular, some children with jaundice can take glucose, but they need to pay attention to the amount of glucose they take. So how much glucose should be taken for newborns?

All children will have jaundice, and it will generally get better if they eat more milk. As for whether glucose is really useful, the effect is not very obvious. It is just adding a little when drinking water or formula milk, and there is no regulation on the amount. For example, if you drink 30ml of milk or water, you can usually add one spoonful, the kind used in milk powder. It doesn’t matter if you add a little more or less, because glucose is an energy substance that the human body needs. It's just that too many words are too sweet.

Gastrointestinal discomfort occurs when glucose is taken orally too quickly or the concentration is too high. Low potassium, low sodium, and low phosphate levels occur when glucose is supplemented for a long time. Giving children glucose for a long time often leads to the degradation of normal digestive function, causing the normal secretion of sugar enzymes and other digestive enzymes in the intestine to degenerate due to disuse, affecting the digestion and absorption of other foods by children. If glucose is often used instead of other sugars, the disaccharidase and digestive enzymes in the intestine will lose their function, making the gastrointestinal tract lazy. Over time, it will cause low secretion of digestive enzymes and decreased digestive function, affecting the growth and development of infants and young children.

The body fluids in the human body are weakly alkaline, and sugar is an acidic substance. In order to maintain its weak alkalinity, the body must consume alkaline substances in the body, such as calcium. Calcium is an important substance for the composition of bones. Excessive consumption of calcium will affect the development of bones.

It can also make children moody and bad-tempered, which is medically called sugar-craving dysphoria. Under normal circumstances, newborns do not need to drink glucose, as the nutrients in breast milk are sufficient. In addition, glucose has a high sugar content and tastes sweet. Many newborns will not suck breast milk after drinking glucose.

It is important to consult a doctor about the dosage of glucose for newborns, so as to ensure the health and safety of the newborn and avoid dangerous situations in the child's body due to excessive intake of glucose. In particular, infants should pay attention to taking appropriate treatment methods in time, and pay attention to timely medical examination if there is any danger.
