You need to know what is normal weight loss for the first 4 days. You need to learn what is normal weight gain the first 2 weeks and beyond. New mothers need to know what babies act like when they are exhibiting normal newborn breastfeeding behavior. You need to learn what normal output is. So many times I hear parents tell me that their babies doctor is okay with several days of no stooling. As long as the baby is peeing several times a day. For my regular listeners I know I sound like a broken record. We get new listeners every day to this show and I feel this bears repeating. If your newborn baby is not stooling every day, this is a major concern. Saying that it is okay is bad and inaccurate information, which can be very harmful to the mom and baby.
