What is a normal developmental milestone for newborns related to weight?

  1. Rapid weight gain by 2 weeks

  2. Lose 15% of birthweight by 1 month

  3. Triple weight by 6 months

  4. Gain 10lbs in the first week

The correct answer is: Rapid weight gain by 2 weeks

Newborns typically gain rapid weight within the first two weeks of life, but they do not typically lose weight or gain significant amounts of weight in such a short time frame. It is also not normal for a newborn to gain 10lbs in the first week as their birth weight is typically between 5-10lbs. Additionally, triple weight gain by 6 months is not a normal developmental milestone for newborns, as it varies for each individual baby. The most typical and expected developmental milestone related to weight for newborns is a rapid weight gain within the first two weeks of life.
