A breastfeeding mother calls the pediatric clinic concerned about her 4-day-old baby's failure to gain weight. She states that the infant has lost several ounces since birth.
 
  The most appropriate response by the nurse would be which of the following? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Select all that apply. 1. Newborns tend to lose about 5 to 10 of their birth weight because of failure to give adequate supplements when breastfeeding.
  2. Newborns grow approximately 1 inch a month in the first 6 months. You will need to increase feedings to compensate for the growth spurt.
  3. Newborns have an initial weight loss in the first 3 to 4 days. Your baby's weight loss is normal.
  4. Newborns lose a lot of heat, so make sure you keep the baby's formula warm when you supplement the breast milk.
  5. Keep the baby from getting chilled or too warm because that can contribute to weight loss.
