It's normal for babies to lose some weight in the first two or three days, because babies are born with a little extra fluid in their bodies. After that, your baby should be gaining 1/2 an ounce to an ounce a day, at the minimum, as your milk comes in. All breastfed babies should be weighed about 2 days after going home. If the weight gain does not seem adequate at that visit, she should be weighed again on the same scale 1-2 days later.

Most delays in milk production result from an upset in the supply and demand balance. Avoid giving supplemental bottles. Temporarily postpone your other commitments to focus your energies toward establishing a breastfeeding routine with your baby. Try: Take your baby to bed with you. Nap- and night-nursing are time-tested remedies for enhancing a baby's weight gain. Remember the law of supply and demand, and increase the frequency of feedings to at least one every two to three hours. See similar questions...

It is also apparent that if these extra calories and nutrients are not being used or burned then extra weight will result if one's eating habits do not also change. See similar questions...
