One question I have about the idea of the 24 hour old weight as a better baseline is:
In my clinic practice I see mothers & babies in their first week, and most c/s or induced mothers report that they didn't have the massive pedal edema while still in the hospital that they experience by day 4. So why do we think the babies would diurese by 24 hours?
