i think the ans is 10% Glucose.

In 1963 Beckwith reported three cases of a new syndrome consisting of macroglossia, omphalocele, visceromegaly, cytomegaly of adrenal cortex and hyperplasia of gonadal interstitial cells. In 1964 Wiedmann independently reported the syndrome. Beckwith-Wiedmann Syndrome (BWS) is characterized by fetal gigantism, visceromegaly, macroglossia, microcephaly, nevus flammeus, diaphragmatic hernia, hemihypertrophy, pancreatic and adrenal hyperplasia and omphalocele. Increased incidence of intra-abdominal tumors and hypoglycemia are also described.

Since in neonatal hypoglycemia usually 10% Glucose is given, the ans for me is 10% Glucose.

If anyone differ, PLEASE inform.
