All other assessment data is within normal limits. Sarah has breastfed once since birth for seven minutes. She is noted to be sleepy when at the breast and not an aggressive feeder, consistent with her gestational age. She has voided once since birth, but has not yet stooled.

Her prenatal course was unremarkable other than the premature rupture of membranes. Sarah’s blood type is A+. Blood sugars were obtained per protocol starting at two hours after birth and have been consistently > 50 mg/dL. Her hematocrit was tested per protocol of a baby of a diabetic mother born before 37 weeks and was 48% four hours after birth. Twelve hours after birth, her transcutaneous bilirubin level is 6.1 mg/dL. Personal/Social History: Morgan Daniels is a 22-year-old single mom who attends a local community college.
