Chronic hypernatremia occurs in infants with dehydration secondary to low breast milk intake due to poor breastfeeding technique, gradually established and is accompanied by severe weight loss. It requires slow correction to avoid neurological complications. Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) of low osmolarity are a safe and effective alternative treatment. ORS of low osmolarity allow volume replacement, weight recovery and gradually correction of the elevated serum sodium levels.
