For bonding and breastfeeding, newborns benefit from a cheek full of dextrose

(University at Buffalo) University at Buffalo researchers at Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo (WCHOB) and other teams worldwide are proving that a dose of dextrose gel administered into a baby's cheek along with regular feedings can raise hypoglycemic babies' blood sugar, allowing them to stay with their mothers, which promotes breastfeeding.
