This question has been talked about back and forth alot. In my experience, 
the babies with the greater wt losses have feeding issues and I do not note 
a correlation with fluids in the moms. I believe there was one study which 
looked at that and found no correlation with fluids in the moms. There could 
be a connection between a long, difficult labor and then subsequent 
*feeding* issues and their could be a correlation between induction of labor 
and *feeding* issues, maybe the baby was induced due to maternal illness or 
maybe the baby was born preterm or with breathing issues. Breathing impacts 
feeding and so on.
