What Are the Treatment Options for Dehydrated Newborns?

Treatment depends on the severity of dehydration:
Mild Dehydration
For mild cases, increasing the frequency of breastfeeding or formula feeding may suffice. Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) can also be used under medical supervision.
Moderate to Severe Dehydration
In more severe cases, hospitalization may be required. Intravenous (IV) fluids are administered to quickly restore fluid balance and correct electrolyte imbalances.
