For starters: 1. I'm of the opinion that 10 days or 2 weeks is too long for 
a baby to regain to birth weight.  I wasn't in a position to study this when 
I got my MSN in 1994, but while working on my MSN I did home vss for a 
hospital that did 24 hour discharges with a home vss on day 2 and 4. 
Invariably I saw babies who were nursing OK on day 2 to be back to birth 
weight by day 4.  If they weren't back to birth weight by day 4, I 
considered baby at risk and could get another vss.  If they weren't back to 
birth weight by day 4, it was usually a problem in baby or mom.
2. A baby at 10 days, below birth weight, not having adequate stool, would 
have all my red flags waving.  Something is wrong with production (mom) or 
transfer (baby).  Pat in SNJ
