regaining lost weight - newborns
how long did it take your newborn to regain weight lost in the hospital?
DD was born at 7.6lbs and dropped down to 7 even - not bad! We had our first weight check today and she hasn't regained anything at 6 days though she is eating what I feel like is a TON.
My son lost almost a lb but regained instantly so this is new to me.
Ped is having us back in 2 days to recheck weight.

Re: regaining lost weight - newborns
It took both my boys some time. I know they didn't gain by the first visit and we had to go back again and I think one of them had just gained it back by 3 weeks.
As long as theywere nursing and nursing well he didn't seem to concerned
Edited to add my boys were born at 9.4 and 8.9 not sure how much they lost.

Re: regaining lost weight - newborns
It took a good 3 weeks but I was having BFing issues which probably complicated things in the beginning wrt her weight.

DD was 7lbs 14oz and it took her 2.5 weeks to regain her birth weight. She was a pretty sleepy newborn though and ped was not concerned!

DS was born at 7lbs 14oz. I think he left the hospital at 7-6. It took him 2 weeks to get back to his birthweight.
Now, at 10 months he's over 20lbs!

Re: regaining lost weight - newborns
Took my dd about 3 weeks. She was 6lbs 2oz when born and 5lbs 10z when we brought her home. We brought her to the doc every 3/4 days for weight for about the first month. She finally gained a pound and was 6lbs 10 oz by the end of her first month.

It took DD about 3 weeks. We had to go for weight checks every 3 days or so for the first 2 weeks when she finally started putting on an ounce a day. She was a very sleepy newborn and is ebf so it took a little while.

Re: regaining lost weight - newborns
When i was EBF it took almost a month for my DD to regain her birth weight and that only happened after we started supplementing because she wasn't even maintaining and still losing slowly.
I was told with BF it can take up to 2-3 weeks. With FF if should be within 1-2 weeks.
My DS was BF and FF and went above birth weight at 1.5 weeks.

Re: regaining lost weight - newborns
Brielle was 5-8, went to 5-1 and came home there. I think she was around 5-7 at 9 days. I think hannah was back to birthweight at like 3 weeks.
