I just read another blog post this morning that I wanted to share. I have been a Lactation Specialist for over 15 years thru my volunteer work with La Leche League. I get SO many calls and questions at our support meetings about newborn weight loss. This article is basically what I have been trying to explain to moms for a long time! Here is the link

I have never had IV fluids in labor , I have had 3 homebirths and 3 hospital. Dehvin wa smy first born in a hospital I had not iv fluids but did have MAJOR latch issues with her so she did lose over 10% of her birth weight. My others never lost weight...except Sebastian, he was my last baby and was a preemie.
