Interesting, Jan..!

Well, here's my thoughts....How reliable was the birthweight measurement?
How reliable were the previous scales - 1.5 oz weight gain in week 2-3 is
v. surprising in a baby where all the  other signs of effective feeding are
present, and one might wonder if some mistake has occured (I have come
across babies where caregivers have wrongly translated metric into imperial
- plain ol'  human error.

The question has also been asked before on this list - just how significant
is the birthweight as a base line measure?

(Or could be undiagnosed heart defect in the baby or similar? not sure
though if the baby would be showing signs of lethargy or listlessness with
this).
