A. hi...A newborn loses approximately 5% to 10% of their birth weight within the first week after delivery. A newborn begins to put on the lost weight within the first three weeks of delivery. Babies double their birth weight within the first three to four months after birth. So just keep breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months.
