The first breath of the baby is the hardest

The first breath of the baby is ten time difficult as compared to a normal breath. It is necessary for first breath to be strong enough to force out the fluid that is present in the lungs and pump up a large number of tiny air sacks that fill lungs.

The first month is the most dangerous

It is very obvious that the first twelve months of a life of a newborn is dangerous; however, 66% of newborns death takes place in the first month (Data Retrieved From: http://video.nationalgeographic.com).

Newborns have a vision of about 12 inches

This is the distance between a nursing baby and mama's face. When a child takes birth, he does not have the sensitivity to light, but also that he has heard a sharp, as well. He runs his eyes to the sound source, which differentiates it from all the sounds his mother's voice, as if there are leads that of the charm of emotion. This extreme sensitivity enjoyed by the child since his birth has made some hospitals intentionally to reduce the lights and sounds in the halls of birth to receive small his new world no regrets for what has happened or concern.

The Walking Reflex in Babies Is Developed Within an Hour after the Birth

This recommends that human has a program developed for bipedal movement. They have a grasping reflex, startle reflex and a nursing reflex among others. At the time, when birth takes place, transition takes place in the development. The fetus becomes a neonate (newborn), and is named to the end of their first month of life outside the womb, when the period begins in early childhood. Most babies are very alert at birth. In general, parents react when caught in the delivery room and become familiar with them. Then when you finally fall asleep for the first time in this world with air, it is usually very deep sleep. During sleep, the body begins to function on its own. In the womb, the placenta is associated with the circulatory system, digestive system, temperature regulation and the excretory apparatus of the fetus. Now the baby's physiological equipment has to take care of these essential functions. Premature babies are slower to take on these tasks than normal infants. Even when healthy, premature infants are tested two weeks after their date of birth and have still not up to normal babies of the same gestational age, motor development or attention. Much of this delay is probably due to minor complications, but inevitable that accompanies most preterm births. The rest may be due to the still immature systems are not prepared to take over the sensorimotor stimulation. The places that are the incubators are full of noise, ...
