#AskTheExpert Is it normal to give steroid to preterm baby born at 30 weeks and is 35 weeks now? The baby lost 30 grams weight but is active. Is losing weight after the shot should be an alarm?

A. Hello mom is their any underlying health condition for the baby that he is prescribed steroids ? For a healthy baby it isn’t required, as babies after birth in the initial days they loose some weight and then start to put on weight.
