Weight loss, inevitable in babies

In the womb, the child just loses water. But at birth, starts to sweat, your kidneys expel more liquid than before, and the intestines were empty for the first time.

All this leads to an immediate loss of weight at birth, which in some babies becomes much as 10 percent. After seven days, the process is reversed and they start to get fat.
