A. hi... breastmilk is the best food for your baby. A newborn loses approximately 5% to 10% of their birth weight within the first week after delivery. A newborn begins to put on the lost weight within the first three weeks of delivery. Babies double their birth weight within the first three to four months after birth. so do not worry...just keep exclusively breast-feeding your baby every 2 hours.
