Overview
In developed nations, feeding difficulties, failure to gain weight, and dehydration are common reasons for neonatal rehospitalization. Rehospitalization for dehydration occurred in 2.1 of 1000 live births – the most important risk factors were being born of a first-time mother and exclusive breastfeeding. Diagnoses such as sepsis, meningitis, and previously unrecognized anomalies (eg, cleft lip/palate, congenital heart disease, Hirschsprung disease, pyloric stenosis) are estimated to comprise 5% of these readmissions; the far majority are due to feeding failure. World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) launched in 1991 the ‘Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative’ to promote and support breastfeeding. Despite the well-recognized advantages of breast-feeding to both mother and child, there is need to emphasize proper education, close and early follow-up of the nursing mother and infant, and encouragement that “fed is best.”
