Identification of low birthweight and small for gestational age is pivotal in clinical management and many research studies, but in low‐income countries, birthweight is often unavailable within 24 h of birth. Newborn weights measured within days after birth and knowledge of the growth patterns in the first week of life can help estimate the weight at birth retrospectively. This study aimed to generate sex‐specific prediction maps and weight reference charts for the retrospective estimation of birthweight for exclusively breastfed newborns in a low‐resource setting.
