You've got a brand-new baby. Now what? Here's some help as you get to know your little one.
Newborns mostly sleep, eat, and poop/pee. Sometimes they make strange noises and movements. Don’t worry, most of these are normal.
Here are some sounds that may come from your baby:
Crying. This is how newborns communicate. Cries can mean, "I'm hungry," "I have a wet diaper," "I am tired," or "I want to be held." You'll learn your baby's cries and how to respond to them.
Babies burp from swallowing air during feedings. They also hiccup, sneeze, grunt, and squeak.
Newborns can pause between breaths. Short pauses are OK.
Some of these movements are also normal:
They curl up, just like they did in the womb.
They throw out their arms and legs in a startle reflex.
They curl their toes when you tickle the bottom of their foot, or grab onto your finger.
