'L'intoxication à l'eau' est la maladie associée avec le fait de
donner à des nourrissons de l'eau en bouteille. On voit alors
un état mental altéré, de l'hypothermie, l'enflure et des crises
d'epilepsie et est vu le plus fréquamment chez des bébés de moins de
6 mois...Les bébés allaités n'ont pas besoin d'eau supplémentaire
(ni d'autres liquides)..."
