Noel-Weiss' well done research says the first weight isn't even valid, true weight at 24-30 hours after typical US birth (IVs etc).  So the question is even if their starting point is valid.  It was published  in the International Breastfeeding Journal.  Maybe Noel Weiss needs to tweak it and send a new article to Peds with her results!  Pat in SNJ
