The nurse weighed your baby this morning and the number is lower than yesterday. Your heart dropped. You are doing everything right \u2014 feeding on demand, barely sleeping \u2014 and your baby is still getting lighter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what you need to know first: every single newborn loses weight after birth. It is expected, it is normal, and it is not your fault.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But there is a threshold beyond which weight loss stops being physiological and starts requiring medical attention \u2014 and knowing that line makes all the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n
