Also looking for normal sodium levels in exclusive breastfeeding infants.  Our pediatricians want to supplement with any sodium over 145.  An infant I saw yesterday was 3 days old.  Mother was a primipara with no risk factors for delayed lactogenesis  or for decreased production.  Infant had 8% weight loss and sodium of 149. Only drops of colostrum were expressed.  Pediatrician ordered formula supplementation.  Blood sugar was normal.
Thanks,
Polly Westra R.N., IBCLC
