How long does it typically take for a newborn to regain their birth weight?

1 week
2-3 weeks
1 month
6 weeks

The correct answer is: 2-3 weeks

Newborns typically regain their birth weight within 2-3 weeks after birth. This is considered a normal and healthy process for most babies. It is important for breastfeeding counselors to be aware of this timeframe to monitor the baby's growth and development effectively. If a newborn takes longer than 2-3 weeks to regain their birth weight, further evaluation and support may be needed to ensure the baby is receiving adequate nutrition and thriving.
