The infant’s liver is not yet mature, hence giving babies a lot of
water causes their bodies to expel sodium with the urine, and
loss of sodium may affect brain activity; hence early symptoms of
water intoxication (also known as hyper-­‐hydration) may include
hot temper, laziness and other changes in the brain.
But if a great deal of water is lost from the infant’s body for any
reason, such as diarrhoea, vomiting, or excessive sweating as a
result of intense heat especially in countries where it is very hot
in the summer, then the physiological balance between water
inside the body and water outside the body is disturbed, and this
leads to dehydration in the infant’s body, which can only be
controlled in one of two ways:
• Either stopping whatever is leading to dehydration
• Or increasing the amount of water entering the child’s body by
giving him more sterilised water in between regular
breastfeedings.
Correct position for breastfeeding
You have to make sure that the position of your baby whilst
breastfeeding is correct, so that you can avoid nipple pain and
help the milk to flow from your breast.
Note: before starting to breastfeed, you should have some small
pillows next to you because you may need them to support your
baby when breastfeeding.
Latching on
• Bring your baby close to your breast; do not bring your breast
close to your baby. Wait until the baby opens his mouth wide; if
he opens it only part way, you can touch his upper lip with your
nipple, which will help him to open his mouth wide.
• The baby should take the whole areola (the darker area around
the nipple) into his mouth.
