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.
It's very important to breastfeed your baby early and often â starting in the birthing room. That's because early, frequent, and effective nursing increases prolactin activity in the breast, which helps assure an abundant and robust milk supply. The more often you feed your baby in the first 48 to 72 hours, the better your milk supply will be. A lactation expert shows how to position your baby for nursing and help your baby latch on and feed.
