What is the Ideal Baby Weight?
It is perfectly normal in your baby’s first week for him/her to lose upto 8% of their birth weight. Babies store fat to help them cope with birth and after they are born when they are waiting for mums feeding to kick in they can often lose weight so don’t be alarmed.
Babies come in all different shapes and sizes so try to avoid comparing weights. Monitor your own baby’s weight and if you are worried just ask a health professionals opinion.
