Infants with one of the four major risk factors for neonatal hypoglycemia, who are routinely screened for neonatal hypoglycemia in current clinical practice:
1. Small-for-gestational-age infants (SGA, birth-weight-for-gestational-age 2. Large-for-gestational-age infants (LGA, birth-weight-for-gestational-age >P90);
3. Near-term infants 35 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks gestational age with a birth weight >2000 gram;
4. Infants of diabetic mothers (IDM).
Birth-weight-for-gestational-age is defined according to the Kloosterman growth charts.
Infants with serious co-morbidity will be excluded, because their co-morbidity can also affect neurodevelopment:
1. Very preterm infants (<34 6/7 weeks gestational age)
2. Severe perinatal asphyxia
3. Severe perinatal infection
4. Respiratory insufficiency
5. Severe hypotension
6. (Strong suspicion of) a syndrome or major congenital malformations;Other exclusion criteria:
7. (Strong suspicion of) inborn error of metabolism

9. No informed consent
