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.
Effectively the midwife is a specialized nurse who has trained to care for young children. The role of the midwife is most essential in the first six weeks of the childâs life. This is when the mother is still recovering and keeping an eye on her baby twenty four hours a day is not possible. The midwife serves as a useful substitute on occasions when the mother needs some rest.
