Mom is 5'4 gave birth to a 5.10 pds baby. mom gained roughly 22 pds. is baby in danger to any probs bc of low birth weight? he looks very tiny
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: His size is still very normal even if he looks tiny. He will pick up his weight so fast now that he has brought himself into this world. I would probably feed him on a regular 3-4 hour schedule until his weight is over 8 pounds.
