Breastfeeding if baby is born with low blood sugar?

Leah

I have GD which is semi controlled but not controlled enough. I will most likely be induced the 1st week of December due to elevated BP and my GD.

My dietitian told me if my baby has low blood sugar, I’ll have to formula feed him instead of breastfeeding, but I want to breastfeed since I wasn’t able to with my first. Has anyone been told this before?

Also how long did it take for you to get back to normal or did the diabetes stick around?
