Patient's question:
My youngest sister's baby was just born at the hospital. The doctors there said they need to do a physical examination to fully understand the baby's health condition. My family and I are all very curious. I'd like to ask what exactly is included in a baby's physical examination?Doctor's answer:
A healthy baby should meet ten standards, essential conditions for autonomous breathing, and precautions to be noted during the initial breathing. It also includes check-ups and common illnesses. After birth, the baby first cries a few times before starting to breathe with the lungs. In the first 10-15 days, the baby's breathing rate is 40-50 times per minute. The normal pulse rate of the baby is 120-140 times per minute. At the same time, it is necessary to check the baby's neurological reflexes.
