This is absolutely normal..baby looses weight for 7 days then starts to gain weight, reaches birth weight by 10- 12 days. And hb levels and sodium is also normal.. baby is little dehydrated.. that’s expected first few days
Next Steps
Give breastmilk nothing other than that.. mother should take sufficient rest and drink plenty of water.. night feeds should be continued.. don’t stress out .. stress will reduce milk production.
