Just remind me again......how much weight loss is 'normal' in the first 10 days or so........

[fannyannie]

??? I can't remember what's 'acceptable' or 'normal'. DS3 was 7lb 6oz at birth, and today - 11 days old was 7lb exactly - HV wasn't at all concerned but 'new mum over again' paranoia has set in........

10% is what's usually said to be ok but depends on how the baby is in general.

What did you call him?

Takunda Myles -

Ours lost about 7 pounds. The first was 6 pounds something then down to under 6 pounds in the first week.

ds1 lost loads so don't worry

thanks - just one of those moments of paranoia when they've been (what seems like) permanently attached to your norks yet have lost weight - even though it's expected
