That's the way I remember it, No
correlation between lots of IV fluid to mom in labor and subsequent rapid
weight loss in newborn.
I am wondering though about those moms who have a repeat C/S and are NPO at
midnight the night before with an 8AM case. These moms often get 3 liters of
fluids before the case. The baby loses a lot the first day and I have seen
as much as 8 voids and 5 stools in the first 24 hours in these babies. That
is abnormal I would think. Mary Ann Krainz RN, IBCLC
