Babies might lose weight initially.... If the urine output is good don't worry much... Just continue with breastfeeding

Babies do lose weight in first week of life or if jaundice or dehydration present in early days of life. Presently of baby is feeding well and passing urine 6-8 times in a day then no need to worry. Normally babies gain 25-30 grams weight per day.
