i know a family who just had a newborn baby. she is only 5 days old and they are allowing her to sleep 7 or 8 hours without feedings. People have tried to tell them that it isnt safe, and that the baby should eat about every 3 hours. I think its bad and this baby will not get all the nutrients they need. Is it safe for this baby to be sleeping that long without nourishment? it happens about once a day.

What prompts a newborn baby to start to breathe?

a.a decrease in the concentration of oxygen in the baby’s blood
b.an increase in the pH of the baby’s blood
c.a change in the temperature on the surface of the skin
d.an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the baby’s blood
laura maybe you’re wrong because they breath before the cord is cut why can’t it be c?

I’ve heard conflicting arguments about using pacifiers to help calm a newborn baby. Has there been any studies done that shows that pacifiers are either good or bad for newborn babies?

I live next to a couple who are parents to a newborn baby. Everyday I continuously hear this baby cry hours after hours during the day. Could the parents be ignoring or neglecting the baby? I don’t know. Is it enough to make a person call CPS, just to find out if the baby may be taken care of by the parents? I’m unsure of what to do because I don’t have hard proof. Please someone let me know. I don’t want to be nosy, but I want to know if the baby is okay.
