Baby’s First Month: Normal Newborn Behavior vs Warning Signs

The first month with a newborn can feel overwhelming for many Pakistani parents. New moms often wonder what’s normal and what needs medical attention. At Mumyfy, we believe the right information helps parents feel confident and supported during these early days.

What’s Normal in a Newborn’s First Month?

Frequent Crying

Newborns cry often to express hunger, discomfort, or the need for comfort. Evening crying and short crying spells are common.

Irregular Sleep

Sleeping 14–18 hours a day in short intervals is normal. Waking every 2–3 hours is part of healthy newborn development.

Frequent Feeding

Feeding 8–12 times a day is normal for newborns. Frequent feeds help growth and milk supply. Mumyfy supports moms by encouraging comfort-focused feeding routines.

Skin Changes

Peeling skin, baby acne, and small white bumps are common and usually clear on their own.

Sudden Movements

Startle reflexes and jerky movements are normal in the first month.

Warning Signs to Watch

• Poor or weak feeding
• Fewer than 6 wet diapers a day
• Fever above 38°C or very low temperature
• Breathing difficulty
• Extreme sleepiness or unresponsiveness

If you notice any of these, consult a pediatrician immediately.
