An LC friend and I were talking about the  often-stated idea that babies
whose mothers have had IVs in labor may have an inflated birthweight, thus
making the subsequent weight loss sound worse than it really is.  We were
wondering if this was just a theory or if it had been validated by research.
Does anyone know of any research data on this?  If not, it sounds like a good
avenue for research.  Miriam
