Hi
I had a pediatrician yesterday tell me that the current AAP recommendation
is that if a newborn loses more than 5 - 8 % of body weight in the initial
days they should intervene, I though it was more like 8-10 or maybe 12%. I
asked her for the lit to back it up but wanted to search it my self, I found
all sorts of interesting stuff on the AAP site, but nothing to address this
issue, do any of you know?
Thanks
Cindy
