This paper provides an analysis of the impact of maternal prenatal visits on birth weight of newborns in Togo. The results of econometric estimations based on the national MICS-3 survey of 2006 show that (a) the number of maternal prenatal visits has a statistically significant impact on the weight of the newborn; (b) the other determining factors in newborn weight are the mother's age, newborn gender and household environment; and (c) mother's age and education level as well as nonmonetary wealth assets all influence the likelihood of prenatal visits
