Rationale 1: This is not an excessive weight loss.
Rationale 2: This newborn's weight loss is within normal limits. During the first 510 days of life, caloric intake is often insufficient for weight gain. Therefore, there can be a weight loss of 5 to 10 in term newborns.
Rationale 3: This is not a less-than-expected amount of weight loss.
Rationale 4: This weight loss is not unusual.
