Patient's question:
I found that my blood sugar was high in the late stages of pregnancy, and now my child has been born for 4 months. 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, which is because of elevated blood sugar levels in the mother during the later stages of pregnancy, leading to fat accumulation in the baby. However, if the baby's growth and development are generally 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, mashed vegetables, etc. If the baby is overweight, it is advisable to check fasting blood sugar levels.
