Effects of water supplementation on physiological jaundice in breast-fed babies.

M de Carvalho, M Hall, D Harvey

The effect of water supplementation in normal, term, breast-fed babies with physiological jaundice was studied. Water supplementation was given to 120 babies and 55 received no extra fluids. There was no significant difference between the two groups when peak serum bilirubin levels and incidence of phototherapy were compared.
