Here are some key milestones in the first hour and 10 minutes of a newbornâs life, presented in median minutes: Minute 0: Babies wail a robust, angry birth cry that helps wake up the lungs. Minute 2: After all that wailing, babies spend less than a minute relaxing, holding perfectly still on their mothersâ chests.
With regard to the respiratory development of the newborn, nurses should be aware that: A) The first gasping breath is an exaggerated respiratory reaction within 1 minute of birth. B) Newborns must expel the fluid from the respiratory system within a few minutes of birth.
