In this episode it’s us together again in the cauldron and Katie chats with Rachel about all things early weight loss… and gain in babies.

We look at:

· Why do babies lose weight?

· What is normal weight loss?

· Are there some babies who are more likely to lose more weight than others?

· What’s with the panic once we hit the (not so magical) number of 10% weight loss?

· And how can we best support mums and babies through this period of feeding difficulty, before we jump straight into the bottles of formula top-ups.

· What about IV fluids given to labouring women and the effect on a baby’s weight straight after birth? We know there’s been talk of a correlation right, but why do we not have any standardised guidelines for this yet?

· We try to straighten out the facts on one of those common anxiety causing parts of breastfeeding.

All this and the usual banter when us two get together.
