Abstract
The records of 814 infants born in a rural hospital in Lesotho were analysed. It was calculated that on average Basotho infants regained their birthweight between 3 and 4 days of age and the average weight loss amounted to 3%. Compared with Caucasian infants, Basotho infants regained their birthweight sooner. Of 289 infants in whom the gestational age was assessed, small-for-dates infants showed an increased mean growth rate compared with pre-term and appropriate-for-dates full-term infants.
