Did you know…..

Things that are normal for newborns that will make you call your for advice at 3 AM anyway. Save this so you don't.

Sneezing 30 times a day. Not a cold. Nasal passages are the width of a pencil. Everything irritates them. Sneezing is the self-cleaning system.

Breathing that speeds up slows down and pauses for up to 10 seconds. Not suffocating. Periodic breathing. The brainstem is calibrating. Normal for the first months. If pauses exceed 20 seconds or lips turn blue that's different. Call.

Crossed eyes. Not a vision problem yet. Eye muscles are weak and uncoordinated. Should resolve by 3-4 months. If it persists past 4 months get it checked.

Trembling chin during crying. Not a seizure. Immature nervous system. The motor pathways overshoot. Should decrease over the first months. If trembling happens when the baby is calm and not crying that's different. Call.

Spit-up that looks like a lot. Not vomiting. The valve at the top of the stomach is loose. It leaks. Looks like they lost the entire feed. They didn't. Most of what you see is mixed with saliva which doubles the visible volume. If it's projectile and forceful that's different. Call.

Grunting and straining all night with soft p**p. Not constipation. The pelvic floor and abdominal muscles haven't learned to coordinate. They push and tense simultaneously. The coordination develops by 3-4 months.

One swollen breast. Sometimes even a drop of milk. Not an infection. Your hormones still circulating in their system. Don't squeeze it. It resolves on its own.

Hiccups 10 times a day. Normal. Diaphragm test runs. If they last 15-20 minutes after every feed and cause crying that's different.

Screenshot this for 3 AM. It will save you a phone call and sitting home alone in a panic.
