20-to 30 g per day: Usually newborn losing weight over the first 7-10 days and than regain by 20-30 g/day. So for a week (20-30g x7 days), you can do the rest of the math.

Our newborn (3 weeks) seems to be in pain since yesterday, he has only slept 8 hours in the last 24 hours, wakes up every 10-30 minutes and cries - to the point he turns red in the face, we gave him colic drops, however this does not seem to help.
My 11 week old chokes on his milk almost every feeding. We use newborn flow nipples and have checked the drops. He spits up often as well. Help?
