For 6 to 8 hours after birth, your newborn will be in his first period of reactivity first 30 minutes after birth, your infant will be very alert | #1 first period of reactivity |
After your baby's initial stage of alertness, she will enter a second stage of the first reactive period, which generally lasts 2 to 4 hours. Your baby will enter a state of sleep and relative calmness | #2- second stage of the first period of reactivity |
For the next 2 to 3 days, your baby may sleep almost constantly to recover from the birthing process | #3 - quiet-alert state |
is a respiratory disorder usually seen shortly after delivery in full- or near-term babies | Transient tachypnea;Transient means it is short-lived (usually less than 24 hours). Tachypnea means rapid breathing (most normal newborns take 40 - 60 breaths per minute). |
Transient tachypnea is more likely to occur in babies who were: | Born before 38 weeks gestation Delivered by C-section Born to a mother with diabetes |
Newborns with transient tachypnea have breathing problems soon after birth, usually within 1 - 2 hours. Symptoms include: | Bluish skin color (cyanosis) Rapid breathing, which may occur with noises such as grunting Flaring nostrils or movements between the ribs or breastbone known as retractions |
is a quick test performed on a baby at 1 and 5 minutes after birth. The 1-minute score determines how well the baby tolerated the birthing process. The 5-minute score tells the doctor how well the baby is doing outside the mother's womb. | APGAR if they are AOX3= 2 if no response for HR <100, RR, muscle, reflex, color they get a 0 |
APGAR Breathing effort: | not breathing= 0;slow or irregular= 1; cries= 2. |
APGAR Heart rate is evaluated by stethoscope. This is the most important assessment: | no heartbeat= 0; hr <100 bmp= 1; or hr >100= 2 |
APGAR Muscle tone: | loose and floppy= 0 ; some muscle tone=1 active motion= 2 |
APGAR Grimace response or reflex irritability is a term describing response to | stimulation such as a mild pinch |
APGAR Skin color: | pale blue scores 0; pink and the extremities are blue,scores 1 for color. If the entire body is pink, the infant scores 2 for color. |
The heat generated from within the body is given-off to the surrounding atmosphere. | RADIATION |
When you sweat or when your skin or clothing gets wet, the evaporation of that liquid (i.e., the change from liquid to vapour form) promotes heat loss, and the natural result is a cooling effect. | EVAPORATION |
is the process of air or water flowing by the skin and carrying away body heat. | CONVECTION |
The body conducts heat to whatever the skin is in direct contact with | CONDUCTION |
is a common, noncancerous skin condition seen in newborns appearing within 48hrs of birth. Symptoms: The main symptom is a rash of small, yellow-to-white-colored papules surrounded by red skin | Erythema toxicum;The rash usually clears within 2 weeks |

The arm on the side where the head is facing reaches straight away from the body w/the hand partly open. The arm on away from the face is flexed and the fist is clenched tightly. Turning the baby's face in the other direction reverses the position. | The TONIC NECK REFLEX |
occurs if you place a finger on the infant's open palm. | The GRASP REFLEX |
occurs when you stroke the baby's cheek. The infant will turn toward the side that was stroked and begin to make sucking motions with the mouth. | The ROOTING REFLEX |
head is gently lifted with enough support to just begin to remove the body weight,is then released suddenly, allowed to fall backwardbut quickly supported again.The normal response is for the baby to have a startled look | Moro reflex |
Absence of the Moro reflex in an infant is abnormal. | Absence on both sides suggests damage to the brain or spinal cord. (moro absent in kernicterus) Absence on only one side suggests either a broken shoulder bone or injury to the brachial plexus. |
