When your neighbours brought their baby home from the hospital, he weighed less than at birth. They were very concerned; what would you tell them?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is normal for babies to lose some weight right after birth as they are adjusting to their new environment. As long as the baby is feeding well and having enough wet and dirty diapers, he should regain the weight within a couple of weeks. Option A could be an option if there are feeding issues, but it is not the best answer in this scenario. Option C is not necessary unless there are specific reasons why breastfeeding is not an option or if the baby is not gaining weight despite frequent feeding. Option D is not a valid or appropriate concern in this situation.
