Supporting the energy needs of sick infants with IV fluids containing glucose is an important component of infant stabilization post-resuscitation. Post resuscitation, sick infants are usually too distressed to be breastfed or given a bottle or gavage feeding and therefore glucose containing solutions should be given intravenously as soon as it is determined that the infant is too sick to be fed.
