I should have been more explicit in what I was saying...I didn't mean
that you give the 90 cc's all at once. I meant that that is the
amount that can be given in a day without any adverse affects on the
kidneys and such. When I was having to give fluids to my baby, she
would get about 30 cc's three times a day (this was only for two
days, as after that, she was feeling much better). Sorry for the mix
up.
