Weight history
Breastfed infants may lose up to 7-10% of their birth weight during the first 4 to 5 days of life and typically regain birth weight by at least 2 weeks of age.
A more rapid weight loss in the first days after birth or delayed weight gain mandates further assessment and intervention.
Inadequate weight gain indicates a potential insufficient fluid and calorie intake making a diagnosis of breastfeeding jaundice more likely.
