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.
Immediately after giving birth, the most important thing a couple can do is to take care of their newborn baby and themselves. A womanâs body needs time to heal, and a baby needs love and affection. This initial time should be spent resting and nourishing a motherâs body with lots of water and nutritious food.
