One-day-old infants will feel hungry.
Just one day after birth, infants have just left the mother’s body and need a process of adaptation to the external environment. There are still nutrients stored in the mother’s body, and long sleeping hours can lead to a lack of obvious foraging reflexes, but at this time infants also feel hungry and need to be supplemented by breastfeeding.
If the infant does not have an obvious need to eat one day after birth, cries restlessly or is excessively quiet, and hypoglycemia is ruled out, one should be alert to congenital diseases, such as congenital heart disease, gastrointestinal malformations and other problems.
If there are developmental abnormalities in the child, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition and leading to adverse consequences.
