Strontium Balance in Breast-fed Babies.
We have already reported that, in 3-day balance studies on male breast-fed babies between the 6th and 9th day after birth, more strontium was excreted than ingested, though the balance for calcium and phosphorus was positive (Widdowson, Slater, Harrison & Sutton, 1960). More recently, measurements of the Ca, Sr and phosphate balances in older bottle-fed infants have been reported by others (Lou...
متن کاملLife threatening hypernatraemic dehydration in breast fed babies.
We describe five babies, who were exclusively breast fed, with life-threatening complications of hypernatraemic dehydration secondary to inadequate breast feeding. An increased awareness among health professionals is required so that this potentially devastating condition can be prevented.
متن کاملValidity of routine clinical test weighing as a measure of the intake of breast-fed infants.
Routine clinical test weighing was carried out on 100 bottle-fed infants to assess the accuracy of the procedure; the feed intake was measured by weighing the feeding bottles before and after feeding. Test weight was found to be an unreliable indication of feed weight, underestimating the amount of feed actually taken at test weight values below 60 g, and overestimating the amount of feed taken...
متن کاملAre breast-fed babies still getting a raw deal in hospital?
After preliminary validation of test weighing under ward conditions the fluid intake and weight gain of 39 breast-fed and 25 artificially fed infants were compared. All were fed every four hours for six feeds a day, and the breast-fed infants received dextrose supplements only. The average intake and weight gain of the breast-fed group was significantly less than that of the group fed artificia...
متن کاملSupplementary water for breast-fed babies in a hot and dry climate--not really a necessity.
even in healthy infants,5 unmasks the true nature of the underlying disorder in many such infants who, already profoundly salt-depleted and unable to tolerate further fluid loss, sink rapidly into severe dehydration and shock. The aldosterone content of breast milk is unknown, but it may, as in the case of progesterone, reflect blood concentration.6 The possibility that this or other breast mil...
