Signs a newborn is hungry, including eye movements, sucking, hand-to-mouth motions, body movements, sounds, rooting, and lastly, crying.

The yellowish, thick milk produced in the first 2-3 days after birth, high in protein, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and immunoglobulins.

Milk produced from days 3-4 to 2 weeks after birth, higher in fat, lactose, and water-soluble vitamins.

Milk produced after 2 weeks, consisting of 90% water, 10% carbs, protein, and fat. It has different parts: foremilk and hindmilk.

Foremilk-Higher in water, vitamins, protein; Hindmilk-Higher in fat.

Milk produced in the alveoli of the breasts, mainly during infant sucking. Supply is influenced by hormone levels and milk removal.

Reduces allergies/infections, tailored to needs, easily digestible, promotes healthy portion control, and doesn't depend on clean water.

A scoring system used to assess a newborn's health immediately after birth.

Scores categorized as critical (0-3), below normal (4-6), or normal (7-10).

Heel stick test performed to detect potential genetic or metabolic disorders.

Given within the first hour of birth to help with blood clotting.

Evaluates newborn's health in the period immediately following birth.

Evaluates the newborn's ability to suck and swallow for feeding.

Assessment to determine gestational age of a newborn.

Assess newborn's adaptation to extrauterine life within the first 4 hours of birth

Bluish/grayish hands and feet of a newborn, it's a normal condition.

About 65% of fetal lung fluid is absorbed before birth, leaving approximately 80-100 cc remaining.

Surfactant, crucial for lung function, is detectable in fetal lungs by 24-25 weeks of gestation.

The baby's first breath is driven by mechanical, chemical, and thermal factors. These factors enable the expulsion of fetal lung fluid.

High pressures in the fetal lungs keep fetal circulatory bypasses open.

The patent foramen ovale connects the two atria, facilitating brain perfusion in the fetus.

Ductus arteriosus bypasses the fetal lungs by allowing blood flow to the lower limbs.

The ductus venosus bypasses the liver, directing blood flow elsewhere.

The baby's first hour after birth is critical for initial assessment and skin-to-skin contact.

A period of decreased activity and vital signs (heart rate and respiratory rate) follows the golden hour.

Describes a baby whose size falls below the 90th percentile for its gestational age.

A normal process that occurs in most newborns within 3-5 days of birth, caused by the breakdown of fetal red blood cells. Bilirubin levels peak and then decrease, typically resolving by days 5-7.

This type of jaundice develops in breastfed babies within a week of birth, often due to insufficient milk intake. Sleepy infants, poor suckling, or infrequent nursing can contribute to this.

This type of jaundice persists even if the baby gets enough milk, suggesting a possible issue with breast milk itself. A substance in breast milk may increase bilirubin absorption or interfere with its processing.

This type of jaundice appears within the first 24 hours of birth and is not related to breastfeeding. It's caused by underlying problems like infections, blood incompatibility, or metabolic disorders.

Pathologic Jaundice can occur due to various causes, including infections, blood incompatibilities, metabolic disorders, and conditions like cephalohematoma or bruising, which lead to excessive red blood cell breakdown or difficulty in processing bilirubin.

A localized swelling on the scalp of a newborn, caused by pressure during birth, which crosses the suture lines. It usually disappears within a few days.

A collection of blood under the scalp of a newborn, caused by birth trauma. It does not cross the suture lines and usually reabsorbs slowly. It can increase the risk of jaundice.

Most newborns will urinate within 24 hours of birth. If a newborn does not void within this timeframe, further assessment is needed.

The frequency of urination in a newborn varies with age: Day 1-2: 2-6 times; Day 3-4: 6-8 times; Day 5+: 6-8 times

Stools from a breastfed baby are typically yellow or gold, soft or mushy, and may have a sweet-sour odor.

Stools from a formula-fed baby are usually paler in color, more formed, and have a typical odor. Frequency varies but generally less than breastfed babies.

Jaundice should be assessed every 8-12 hours. Predischarge bilirubin screening includes a serum test or transcutaneous measurement. Readings over 12 or 15 mg/dL warrant a serum level.

Adequate feeding is essential for jaundice prevention. The first feed should start within 1-2 hours postpartum, and infants should be fed 8-12 times a day. Colostrum helps promote stooling, which removes bilirubin.

The first stool passed by a newborn, usually dark green and sticky, with a lot of bilirubin.

A mandatory screening for jaundice in newborns before discharge. It involves a blood test (serum) or a transcutaneous scan.
