This phenomenon is called “temporary newborn weight loss” or “physiologic weight loss”. What is physiologic weight loss? First of all, from the word “physiologic” we can know that it is normal. It manifests itself in the following way: newborns start to lose weight from 3 to 5 days after birth, with an average drop of 6% to 9% and a maximum of 10%. There are three main reasons for this decline: 1. Excretion of excess water from the body. 2. 2. Discharge of fetal stool. 3, the baby itself ate less in the first few days. (Not the mother fed less) Research shows that babies can stick to exclusive breastfeeding if their weight loss after birth does not exceed 7% of their birth weight. Early consumption of powdered formula increases the probability of future allergies significantly. Generally speaking, physiological weight loss is not a cause for concern, as long as the baby is nursed in a timely manner in accordance with scientific feeding methods and carefully cared for, the baby’s weight can be restored quickly. If you find that your baby’s weight loss is out of the normal range or the recovery time is later than normal, you should look for the reasons carefully.
