Hi Lybrate user, Weight loss due to acute fever and jaundice is normal. If he is having normal appetite and sleep.. He will again regain in a month or so. Don't worry.

for first 4-5 days the edema of the baby decreases and so does the weight. so birth weight usually falls down in 4-6 days. important is exclusive breast feeding the baby. mother should atleast feed the baby 7-8 times per day when ever the baby is hungry which is known as demand feeding. fever sometimes occur after birth when the baby does not get enough milk which is known as dehydration fever. continue breast feeding 2hrly or when the baby is hungry. baby will be fine. kindly show your child to doctor to evaluate for sepsis and rule it out foremost

Wait, breast-feeding will regain and start putting on weight. If treating pediatrician is confident, you need not worry. All babies lose weight initially, though your child seems to have lost more weight than expected. Follow your pediatrician, don't worry.
