Samenvatting
We beschrijven een 9 maanden oude vrouwelijke zuigeling die zich presenteerde met symptomen van polydipsie en polyurie. Deze symptomen bleken het gevolg te zijn van excessieve toediening van vocht door de moeder. De moeder deed dit om het kind tevreden te stellen omdat het excessief huilde. Geleidelijke restrictie van de vloeistofinname resulteerde in het verdwijnen van de polyurie.
Summary
A 9-month-old female infant is presented with symptoms of polydipsia and polyuria. These symptoms were due to excessive administration of fluid by the mother. This fluid was given in order to prevent crying of the baby. A gradual restriction of the fluid intake resulted in the disappearance of polyuria.
