A member asked:
Baby lost weight before my milk came in is my newborn goin to gain his weight back and more now that i have milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It's normal for newborns to lose weight in the first several days of life. Then, as the milk comes in, the weight is regained. If your baby is not gaining weight, if s/he is not feeding vigorously, or if s/he is not making wet diapers, see your doctor immediately.
