Hypoglycemia

My wife and I have recently had a new baby whose blood sugar at birth sugar level was practically zero. For the last two days, his blood sugar has been staying around the 20s mg/dl [1.1 mmol/L], but will go as high as the 70s mg/dl [3.9 mmol/L] sometimes. Could this be a sign of hypoglycemia? Would this most likely be a case in which my son’s body just needs a little time to get adjusted?
