Content & gaining wt: If your baby is getting enough milk, he/she will be content between feedings, will urinate at least 6-7 times in 24 hours and will pass at least 1 stool per day. He/she will also lose no more than 10% of birth weight in the first week and will gain it back by 2 weeks of age. Once weight gain is established, the baby will gain about an ounce a day during the first several weeks.
