Early neonatal hypoglycemia in exclusively breastfed babies in a developing country - India.

Background: Neonatal hypoglycemia has been a cause for concern due to increasingly frequent reports of long-term sequelae, leading to undue concern and inadvertent administration of formula feeds.

These babies may present only with sequelae in later childhood.
