Question
Can formula milk be mixed with glucose to be given to a two-month-old baby? Is there anything wrong with that?
Answer
Formula milk can indeed be mixed with glucose for a baby to drink. In fact, formula milk usually contains sucrose, which will naturally convert into glucose once it enters the baby’s body. Guidance:
- If a newborn has hypoglycemia, they can drink some glucose to quickly correct the low blood sugar.
- Generally, it is not necessary to add glucose. Of course, drinking some is not harmful either. Wishing the baby good health!
