Dear Carol, it is a sad fact that 2 weeks to regain birth weight is accepted
by pediatric community for BF baby. If it was bot fed baby they'd be
looking for the problem! My mantra is - from experience - weight not at
birthweight or gaining by 4 days - there is a problem with milk transfer,
whether it is mom (supply) or baby (latch, suck etc.) is up to us to figure
out. And you are so right - it is easier to do at 4-5 days than at 30
days-when the whole thing is a train wreck. Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
