Weight

[Rach276]

Jack was born on Monday and weighed 5lb 9oz. The midwife weighed him yesturday and he wieghed 5lb 7oz. I know that babies tend to loose a little bit of weight while feedings establishd so is that normal?

Thats BRILLIANT!!!!

My MW said that Hebe could have afforded to lose 11oz (she was 8lb 11oz) and she lost 3.

Well done to you both - your boobies have got off to a flying start!!

Thats great yay! Thanks

sounds like you're doing well! Babies tend to loose weight for the first 2 weeks after birth, i remember my mw advising it was up to 10% before they get worried.

 

[Mervs Mum]

So 10% is about 9oz for Jack so if we use that as a rough guide then youre doing great!
