Inadequate transfer of breast milk may cause hypernatremic dehydration in neonates and is a potentially devastating condition. This study aimed to assess the frequency risk factors complaints and complications of hypernatremia among hospitalized breastfed neonates at a neonatal tertiary care center in the Northeast of Turkey.
