Yeah. Same. It makes me so incredibly sad to think about babies dying. But as a parent, if I think something is wrong I will do something. I won't just sit on my hands if I'm feeling worried. I would guess this baby had some digestive issue that went undiagnosed because it was discharged before being fully evaluated. Maybe the breastmilk never came in too. But over 9% loss in less than 2 days is a huge red flag. At the absolute least that baby should have had a next day follow up with a pediatrician.
