75% of the human body is water. Dehydration in infants is a condition in which the baby does not get enough water to maintain body functions. Every day, the amount of water in the baby's body gradually decreases through urination, sweating, crying and even breathing. Each time the baby is breastfed, the baby will be compensated for the amount of water lost. However, if the baby does not get enough water that the body needs, it can lead to dehydration. This can make the baby uncomfortable and irritable.

If dehydration is not diagnosed and treated promptly, it will lead to severe dehydration. The most dangerous complications of severe dehydration are circulatory collapse, low blood pressure and high risk of death. Therefore, everyone needs to have a good understanding of this condition to have early treatment, minimizing the dangerous complications that may occur.
