At what age should a newborn typically regain their birth weight?

Correct option is C

Sol. Newborns typically lose about 5-10% of their birth weight in the first few days after birth due to fluid loss. However, with adequate feeding (breastfeeding or formula), they regain their birth weight by approximately 2 weeks of age. If a baby does not regain birth weight within this timeframe, healthcare providers may assess feeding patterns and overall health.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) 2 months – Incorrect. By 2 months, most babies gain significant weight beyond their birth weight, typically 1.5–2 pounds per month in early infancy.
· (b) 1 year – Incorrect. By 1 year of age, an infant's weight is usually three times their birth weight, not just regaining the original weight.
· (c) 2 weeks – Correct answer. Most newborns regain their birth weight by 10-14 days after birth if feeding is adequate.
· (d) 1 week – Incorrect. While some newborns may regain weight within a week, the standard timeframe is within 2 weeks.
