Are CF babies smaller?

One thing to look for after the baby is born and I didn't really think about til later was when he had a bowel movement it was extremely sticky I had to use a wash cloth to get it off and it was still hard to get off . That was while we were in the hospital we had to stay 48 hours .At the time I did say that I didn't remember my first babies being like that but it never hit me something was wrong and to say something . It was still abnormal after going home as well but we were so worried about other thing's like the cleft and then he started not gaining wieght it just never crossed my mind ... Though now thinking back I did say something to the doctor and he said nothing and we even had a chromosome test done when he was 3 days old as well .. needless to say we no longer have that doctor .

I gained 27lbs with my daughter and she weighed 6lbs 4oz when she was born. Hope this helps!
