Breastfed neonates exhibited lower glucose levels than formula-fed neonates, suggesting nutritional differences.
Formula-fed neonates had a greater cumulative glucose exposure over the first 24 hours, indicating feeding method implications.
Despite lower glucose levels, hypoglycaemia risk was similar between breastfeeding and formula feeding groups.
These findings support breastfeeding in at-risk neonates, highlighting the need for further research on long-term effects.
