Dear everyone

Thank you very much to all of you who responded to my question about 
whether a dehydrated baby could still have good urine output.  The 
replies have all been very varied, and extremely interesting.  Thanks 
to those who sent in excerpts of articles and links.  Opinion seems 
to still be a bit conflicting, but every clue helps!   I've collected 
quite a lot of info now, including several helpful articles about how 
to facilitate breastfeeding in the first couple of weeks from past 
issues of JHL.  The major conclusion that's coming through is that 
hypernatraemic dehydration should never happen if new mothers 
received the help and follow-up that should be the normal standard of 
care in the first 2-3 weeks and/or until breastfeeding has become 
well established.

Thanks so much!

Pamela
