I find that many of these very large, water logged babies loose more than
most of us would consider acceptable :-) If baby's weight wasn't checked
at 4 days or 1 week, then there isn't any way to know what he has come up
from. Personally , all things being fine (developmental, pee & poop) I
would not give formula, but watch and wait a couple of weeks more. Check
latch and effective suck. What you usually see on the graph is a gentle
lessening to a more "normal" weight line. I wouldn't expect him to stay
on the artificially high line he established at birth, no one would, I
think! That's not what they are expecting is it? Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
