In this week's episode, Dr. Blair Rolnick discusses normal feeding patterns for newborns in their first week of life. Parents should watch for hunger cues and monitor diapers to ensure their baby is getting enough food. Expect one wet diaper on day one, increasing to six or more by day five, along with changes in stool color. Babies may lose up to 10% of their birth weight in the first few days but should regain it by two weeks.

Dr. Rolnick emphasizes the importance of reaching out to your pediatrician with any concerns about feeding or weight gain, as they can provide guidance and support to ensure your newborn is thriving during this crucial period of development.
