Summary

This study looks at 20 newborn babies to figure out the best day to weigh them between birth and 5 days old. The goal is to help mothers breastfeed successfully without needing to give formula for weight loss, and to improve mothers' mental health. Researchers will weigh each baby daily from birth to day 5 to gather data for future guidelines.
