“…Hyperglycaemia has been recorded in nondiabetic infants with hyperosmolar dehydration (Bruck, Abal, and Aceto, 1968;Burman and Glaspole, 1964;Keidan, 1955;Stevenson and Bowyer, 1970). Our own experience suggests that it occurs more frequently than was previously suspected.…”

“…Excessive losses of potassium are common in these patients, whether or not there is diarrhoea (Weil and Wallace, 1956;Bruck et al, 1968a). In the experimental situation, Hogan et al (1969) drew attention to the decreased potassium content of the brains of rehydrated rabbits which had convulsed, compared with those seizure free.…”

Stephenson, J. B. P. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 676. Uraemia as a determinant of convulsions in acute infantile hypernatraemia. In a group of 57 infants with acute illness and hypernatraemia (sodium 150 mEq/l. or over), convulsions occurred early in therapy in 17. Other common causes of convulsions had been eliminated as far as possible.The incidence of convulsions was related to the degree of uraemia and acidaemia present on admission and not related to the sodium concentration. It is concluded that hypernatraemia, within the range studied, is not an important cause of infantile seizures unless other factors are operating. Elucidation of these other factors may be more profitable than study of the osmotic properties of the body fluids.Though an association between infantile hypernatraemia and subsequent convulsions has been frequently reported (e.g. Rapoport, 1947;Finberg and Harrison, 1955;Macaulay and Blackhall, 1961; Morris-Jones, Houston, and Evans, 1967; and Bruck, Abal, and Aceto, 1968a and b)

“…Thus, it was generally recommended (Committee on Nutrition 1976b, Fomon et al 1979) that for nonbreast-fed infants Ͼ6 mo old, formula feeding was desirable, but cow's milk plus regular feeding of iron-fortified cereals was a satisfactory alternative. Although one might have inferred from several reports (Berenberg et al 1969, Bruck et al 1968, Colle et al 1958, Pratt et al 1948) that infants fed cow's milk were at risk of hypertonic dehydration during episodes of diarrhea, it seemed reasonable to recommend that additional water be given during illness rather than to insist that feeding cow's milk be prohibited as a food for normal infants.…”

The early years of the 20th century were notable for improvements in general sanitation, dairying practices and milk handling. Most infants were breast-fed, often with some formula feeding as well. Availability of the home icebox permitted safe storage of milk and infant formula, and by the 1920s, feeding of orange juice and cod liver oil greatly decreased the incidence of scurvy and rickets. Use of evaporated milk for formula preparation decreased bacterial contamination and curd tension of infant formulas. From 1930 through the 1960s, breastfeeding declined and cow's milk and beikost were introduced into the diet at earlier and earlier ages. Although commercially prepared formulas, including iron-fortified formulas replaced home-prepared formulas, few infants were breast-fed or formula fed after 4 -6 mo of age. Iron deficiency was prevalent. From 1970 through 1999, a resurgence of breast-feeding was associated with a prolongation of formula feeding and an increase in usage of iron-fortified formulas. By the end of the century, formula feeding of older infants had largely replaced feeding of fresh cow's milk and the prevalence of iron deficiency had greatly decreased. J. Nutr. 131: 409S-420S, 2001.
