Very interesting. My informal survey of moms and babies that I saw in
Detroit (91-93) after a 24 hour discharge was that infants were at or
slightly below birthweight at 36-48 hrs and at or above birthweight by day
4. It is sort of a skewed group as it was only patients I saw. I don't
know what other nurses saw. I always thought it was the lack of
interference and separation because they went home so soon after delivery
:-) Below birth weight on day 4 became a big red flag to me that BF wasn't
going well for some reason or another. I wonder what is seen in other
cultures? So much research,, so little time ! Pat in SNJ
