Newborns experience a variety of normal physiological behaviors that can cause concern for parents, such as irregular breathing patterns called "periodic breath," apparent choking when spitting up, frequent sneezing, and soft stools. Pediatricians emphasize that these are typical as their bodies mature and develop. For instance, the Moro reflex indicates a healthy nervous system and infant stools may appear runny but are generally a sign of proper digestion, especially in breastfed babies. Parents are advised not to panic as these behaviors are part of normal development.
Newborns can breathe erratically, with normal pauses of up to 10 seconds, a sign of their developing respiratory system and should be monitored, not panicked over.
It's a common misconception that newborns choke; they may spit up from their nostrils without actually choking, especially when healthy.
Moro reflex in infants is an indicator of a properly functioning nervous system, often resolving between 2 and 4 months as muscle control improves.
Breastfed babies can have runny stools indicating healthy digestion, with no cause for concern as long as the baby remains happy and gaining weight.
