Calculating Weight Loss in Newborns
Feeding & Care Tips:
- Breastfeed on demand (8–12 times/day).
- Monitor urine output: 1 wet diaper/day on day 1, 2 on day 2, 3 on day 3, 6+ after day 5.
- Skin-to-skin contact helps feeding.
- Watch for lethargy, dehydration signs, or persistent crying.
This tool helps parents, pediatricians, and caregivers monitor a newborn’s weight loss after birth. Enter your baby’s birth weight and current weight to check:
- Weight loss percentage (Is it within the normal range?)
- Small drop alert (≤100 grams — usually okay)
- Weight gain confirmation (positive progress)
- Feeding & care tips (practical guidance)
This tool provides an instant assessment of whether your baby’s weight change is normal, needs caution, or requires urgent attention.
