ABSTRACT

Objective. To know the frequency of neonates who are admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital for severe hypernatremic dehydration, secondary to undetected breastfeeding failure.
Material and methods. 27 clinical files of newborn patients who were admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit due to severe hypernatremic dehydration associated to failures in the breastfeeding, were review.
Results: The frequency found of the clinical features were: hypernatremic dehydration in 26, hyperosmolar syndrome 21, hemoconcentration 11, jaundice 18, hypoglucemic 7, neurological alterations 11, renal insufficiency 18, cardiac arrhythmias 5. Two of the neonates die.
Conclusions. Due to the risk of die of these neonates for hypertonic dehydration and the neurological consequences of the hypernatremia in the survivors it is necessary that the mother know about the risk of the child if he do not receive the volume of milk that he require.
