Never Over (or Under) Cook Farro Again. Yes, everybody makes basic cooking mistakes. Like, say, something as simple as overcooking mushrooms or toasting grains and spices. Below, senior web editor Alex Beggs confesses overcooking farro to associate food editor Rick Martinez.
LGA babies have birthweights greater than the 90th percentile for their gestational age, meaning that they weigh more than 90 percent of all babies of the same gestational age. The average baby weighs about 7 pounds at birth. About 9 percent of all babies weigh more than 4,000 grams (8 pounds, 13 ounces). Rarely do babies weigh over 10 pounds. Although most LGA babies are born at term (37 to 41 weeks of pregnancy), a few premature babies may be LGA.
Differences in weight loss by delivery type appeared early and were clearly evident within 24 hours of birth. Figure 2A presents percentile curves for vaginally delivered newborns. Median percent weight loss for these neonates was 4.2%, 7.1%, and 6.4% at 24, 48, and 72 hours of age, respectively. By 48 hours, almost 5% of vaginally delivered newborns had lost at least 10% of their birth weight, and by shortly after 48 hours, the percentile curves for median weight loss had begun to rise.
