Says doctors are noticing more cases of hypernatremic dehydration in
breastfed babies and want to track this in an organized way. They
(correctly, I think) chalk it up to more women choosing to breastfeed
but not necessarily getting the help they need in the first week.
Lack of help is clearly identified as the problem -- not breastfeeding itself.
There is also mention of routine weighing as a possible tool for
catching and referring babies at risk.
