Newborn is a baby withing first four weeks (28 days) of life. This is an adaptation period in which newborns adapt to a life outside of a uterus. A healthy delivered newborn is a baby born with a weight between 3000 ans 4200 grams and lenght from 49 to 51 cm. By measuring body weight, lenght and volume of the head and comparing these data with the gestational age of the newborn we get information on the health and delivery process of the newborn. The infant leaves an ideal environment that has protected it and enabled it growth and development for 9 months and changes the environment once outside of uterus. Umbilical circulation is ceased when the umbilical cord is cut, and the most important function a newborn has to establish is – breathing. Immediately after the birth, a newborn requires fast and adequate care. A quick examination is preformed in the first and fifth minute of life and is evaluated by the scoring method according to the Apgar ranking. Midwife is responsible for the correct reception and examination of the newborn. During the first examination, midwife pays attention to the search for possible irregularities, malformations or birth injuries. After the first and most important examination comes the first hour in the newborn's life, in which it becomes acquainted with its mother. Also, newborn's reflex for breastfeeding is conspicuous and the newborn finds the breast and starts with the breastfeeding that is of great importance for a better start of new life.
