A new grandfather is marveling over his 12-hour-old newborn grandson. Which statement indicates that the grandfather needs additional education?
 
  1. I can't believe he can already digest fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
  2. It is amazing that his whole digestive tract can move things along at birth.
  3. Incredibly, his stomach capacity was already a cupful when he was born.
  4. He will lose some weight but then miraculously regain it by about 10 days.

Rationale 1: At birth, neonates can digest fats, simple carbohydrates, and proteins.
Rationale 2: Gastric emptying and intestinal peristalsis occur during in utero life; the first bowel movement usually occurs in the first day of life.
Rationale 3: A newborn's stomach capacity is only 2040 ml. Overfeeding of bottle-fed infants tends to cause regurgitation and abdominal discomfort, exhibited by crying.
Rationale 4: Neonates lose 5 to 10  of their birth weight in the first days after life, especially if they are breastfed. They should regain the lost weight and be back to their birth weight by 10 days of age.
