Is it normal for a newborn to eat as soon as he wakes up?

It is usually normal for newborns to eat as soon as they wake up, because newborns spend most of their time sleeping and usually wake up only when they are hungry. They usually continue to sleep after feeding.

The nervous system of newborns may not be fully developed, and they are prone to fatigue. They sleep for more than 20 hours a day. As they grow older, their sleep time will gradually decrease. After feeding, you can pick up the newborn, lie on your back, and gently pat him from bottom to top with your empty palms. This can expel the inhaled cold air and avoid symptoms such as abdominal cold, bloating, and hiccups. You need to burp the baby after each feeding. Newborns have particularly weak resistance, so the clothes they wear or the quilts they cover with should be made of pure cotton to avoid skin discomfort. They should try to reduce the time spent outside and stay indoors more often to avoid bacterial or viral infections. They should pay attention to ventilation in the room, but try not to catch cold.

The temperature of the room where the newborn sleeps should be kept at around 25 to 28 degrees. It is necessary to observe whether there is mucus in the mouth to keep the airway open. In the first two days after birth, you can choose to sleep on your left side or right side. The lights in the room should not be too bright to avoid strong light stimulation and reduce noise in the room.
