Just heard third hand about a horrible story- Baby admitted to pediatric floor with severe, pitting dehydration, mouth so dry mucous membranes were like sandpaper. Mother claimed to be 100% breastfeeding. I don't have information on intake or output. Floor personel could not get an IV in, baby transfered to PICU for a perc line or cut down of some sort, baby began massive seizures, then had major brain bleed. Mother still claimed baby had been breastfeeding OK, her breastmilk was found to have sodium levels of >50mg! Isn't this sodium levl in cows milk? Two days later baby declared brain dead, organs were donated. Am I missing part of the story or has any one ever heard of this before! I did not get to see this baby (or mom).
