Sleeping 14 -17 hours per day:

Frequent hiccups:
It is true that newborns would get frequent hiccups and this would indicate that the baby is growing perfectly. The hiccups in the babies would be due to the underdevelopment of diaphragm. The hiccups in the babies are normal and harmless.
Feeding every 1 to 2 hours:
It must be noted that the stomach of babies is small and it would be able to digest milk rapidly. It is due to this reason that mothers must feed their newborn every 1 to 2 hours in a day for the sake of adequate calories and nutrients for normal growth.
Sleep smiling:
During the rapid eye movement or REM period, sleep smiling would occur in the babies. Working brain development is indicated by this.
Crying while urinating:
The babies would cry while urinating and this would occur for a short time. It is worthy to note that in the babies the response is due to a new sensation and it is normal. Parents must consult a doctor if the baby cries persistently.
Frequent sneezing:
A mechanism by which the body expels mucus, milk, dust etc from the nasal passage is sneezing. It is brought out that in the babies this reflex would maintain healthy and clean airways.
Steady weight gain:
One important predictable sign of baby development is regular weight gain. It is worthy to note that a baby would regain birth weight in 10 to 14 days and would gain 150 to 200gms per week in the initial months.
Baby acne:
Due to maternal hormones, neonatal acne can occur on the face of the baby. Truth is that baby acne is not dangerous and would go away after a few weeks.
Noisy sleeping:
Newborns while sleeping would make sounds like grunting, squeaking etc. It is worthy to note here that these sounds are produced as the nervous system of the newborn matures and the baby adjusts to breathing and digesting.
