Patient's question:
I discovered high blood sugar in my late pregnancy, and now my child is 4 months old. At birth, they weighed 8 pounds. What blood sugar tests should I do? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
When a baby is born, its weight is relatively high because of the increase in maternal blood sugar during the later stages of pregnancy, leading to fat accumulation in the infant. However, if the baby's growth and development are normal, then it is healthy and does not require special examinations.Advice: It is recommended to start adding complementary foods at 4 months, such as mashed egg yolk, vegetable puree, etc. If the baby is overweight, it is advisable to check fasting blood sugar levels.
