Hypoglycaemia in neonates is associated with significant neonatal morbidity. Early detection and prevention are critical. To identify if low BF% (&gt;1 standard deviation below the mean) in non\u2010small\u2010for\u2010gestational\u2010age neonates (&gt;5th percentile body weight) increases the risk of short\u2010term morbidity, with specific attention to hypoglycaemia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>All term neonates who had their BF% measured as part of the Newborn Early Assessment Programme between 28 January 2014 and 9 August 2016 were included in the study. Neonates whose weight was below the 5th percentile and neonates of diabetic mothers were excluded as blood sugar level monitoring is routinely performed on these babies. Neonatal morbidity and blood sugar levels were obtained from electronic records, and the individual patient's paper records were reviewed. A composite score for neonatal morbidity (poor feeding AND hypothermia AND prolonged length of stay) was calculated.

The risk of hypoglycaemia did not change significantly in neonates with birthweight of the 5th\u201310th percentile and &gt;10th percentile (8 vs. 8.8%); 4.9% of babies met the combined morbidity criteria.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Non\u2010small\u2010for\u2010gestational\u2010age babies (&gt;5th percentile) with low BF% are at risk of hypoglycaemia and short\u2010term morbidity.
