Postnatal weight loss and exclusive breastfeeding in newborn
Greater early postnatal weight loss combined with failure to regain birth weight by day 10 is associated with reduced EBF duration and lower infant weight at two years. These findings suggest that interventions to minimize excessive postnatal weight loss and promote timely weight regain may promote EBF and improve long-term infant growth.
