  Maddie was 6lbs 11oz birth.  When we left the hospital she was 6lbs 2oz.  Her first peds appointment was at 5days and she was up .5oz.  The ped was happy with this, so we weren't worried.  Our next appointment was exactly a week later and she was up to 6lbs 10.5oz.  Our next appointment is at 1-month.

   DS was born at 7 lbs  6 oz, and when we went to his first ped appointment he was 6.14.  He was hospitalized for jaundice though and when we left there he was 7.1.  My ped said this was all very normal though and babies lose weight at first.

  We've been up and down. I think as long as your LO is going in the right direction and having enough wet/dirty diapers it's fine. The doctors like them to gain their birth weight back by two weeks. DD went two days after the hospital with no diapers and a big weight loss. We were at the doctor almost every day to check her weight. She's finally gaining the right way. 

  Born - 7lb 10 oz.

  Discharged from hospital (2 days old) - 6 lb. 15 oz.

  Weigh in #1 (3 days old) - 6 lb. 6 oz.

  Weigh in #2 (4 days old) - 6 lb. 12 oz.

  Weigh in #3 (1 week old) - 6 lb. 13 oz.

  Weigh in #4 (10 days old) - 7 lb. 2 oz.

   

  If you're BFing, she may have also lost some more while waiting for your milk to come in and actually gained more back than you realize.  

  DS 5 years old

  DD 2 years old

  Thanks everyone!

  Ped wasn't worried about it. He made the comment that it was good that she didn't lose more weight. I should just listen to him (and DH, who keeps telling me not to worry)

  DS went from 8 lbs 1 oz to 7 lbs 10 oz when we took him in to see pedi today at 6 days.  She said it's not a problem and that he should gain it back by week 2.  I won't worry unless he's still down next week.
