Rationale:
🌸 This large-for-gestational-age (LGA) newborn has progressively increasing RR and grunting, which are hallmark signs of transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN).
🌸 TTN is common in C-section deliveries due to delayed clearance of lung fluid.
🌸 The baby's weight (4200 g) increases risk for neonatal hypoglycemia due to possible hyperinsulinemia from maternal diabetes.
🌸 Monitoring both respiratory status and blood glucose is essential in the immediate neonatal period.
