The Healthy Newborn Hydration Model

Abstract: The normal small volume of breast milk produced in the first 2 days following birth may raise concerns about adequate hydration in breast-fed newborns. These concerns are further magnified when breast-fed infants lose ≥7% of their birth weight within 2 days postnatally. Weight loss following birth is presumably mostly water loss that could result in hypohydration and subsequent hypernatremic dehydration. However, excess fluid loss immediately following birth is a normal and necessary process. Furthermore, newb… Show more

“…The infants in the current analyses were mostly born at term (91.9% at weeks gestation). Median infant weight for length z-score at the time of examination was slightly negative ( ), presumably due to the water weight loss that typically occurs in the days immediately following birth ( Mulder and Gardner 2015 ). Of the 381 babies included in this analysis, exams were conducted on 68 babies (17.8%) at greater than 2 d old.…”

“…Although Verd et al (2018) did not find a significant association between mode of delivery and weight loss above or below the median, they did separate mode of delivery into "non-assisted", "instrumental", and "caesarean section". Furthermore, Manganaro et al (2001) considered association between mode of delivery and weight loss >10%, while Verd et al (2018) calculated the association between mode of delivery and weight loss above or below the median weight loss of the cohort (6%), which may not be relevant as this is below what is generally considered excess weight loss (Chantry et al, 2011;Davanzo et al, 2013;Mulder & Gardner, 2015). Overall studies indicate that CS has a negative impact on neonatal weight.…”

“…Supplementation of breastfeeding or increased formula feeding is often recommended when the infant reaches weight loss of seven to ten percent of birth weight [3,2,18] Regarding the second research question addressing the relationship between intravenous fluid during parturition and newborn weight loss during the first 7 days of birth, the results revealed a significant difference between male and female in relation to their weight when their mothers received 1250 ml. The female loss was higher than the males' loss at first day and there was a significant difference between male and female in relation to their weight at second and third day after birth.…”

“…However, excess fluid loss immediately following birth is a normal and necessary process. Furthermore, newborns exposed to excess fluid intake during labor may need to lose ≥ 7% of birth weight in the first 2 days following birth in order to achieve euhydration [18]. Therefore, hydration of the mother is recommended as a low-cost method with no complications for the fetus and the mother.…”
