Ros. Chapter 6 of Infant Feeding: the Physiological Basis (WHO) has a
section on diarrhoeal diseases, p 88, says ".. the prevention of dehydration
and electrolyte imbalance, or their correction if already present, is the
first priority. These infants should be managed by increasing the frequency
of breastfeeding."

guidelines. 2nd ed Geneva, World Health Organization, 1989.

Hope this helps.
