hello dear
thanks for your query at hcm,
I understand your concern.

In neonates fluid management in first few days of life depends on various factors first is clinical condition of baby, hemodynamic stability, day of life, gestation age, mean arterial pressures, hydration status, cardiac status and other clinical parameters so it vary from baby to baby and health center guidelines , its hard to comment on fluid in this case . They might have giving baby correct fluids based on clinical assessment.

Hope I answered your query.
