Hi I had a pediatrician yesterday tell me that the current AAP recommendation is that if a newborn loses more than 5 - 8 % of body weight in the initial days they should intervene, I though it was more like 8-10 or maybe 12%. I asked her for the lit to back it up but wanted to search it my self, I found all sorts of interesting stuff on the AAP site, but nothing to address this issue, do any of you know?
