You really need to read the articles by Joy Noel-Weiss in the Int
Breastfeeding J. www.internationalbreastfeedingjournal.com/content/6/1/9
and the accompanying article on doing a study at your hospital. In these
articles Dr Weiss explains how the birth weight is basically inaccurate and
a poor place to start counting the 10% from. The weight at 24 hours is a
better weight to use. Fascinating reading :-) Pat in SNJ
