Ich bin so zart, mein Körper ist schlaff und winzig.
Mein Äuβeres wird dich wohl überraschen, denn ich sehe nicht wie Babys aus, die in der Werbung präsentiert werden.
Mein Kopf ist leicht unförmig, meine Augenlider sind geschwollen.
Am Körper und im Gesicht habe ich Blutergüsse, die entstanden sind, weil ich deinen Geburtskanal passieren musste.
Plazentahormone und Prolaktin bewirkten die Schwellung meiner Brustdrüsen.
Du kannst Lanugo, also feine Härchen an meinem Körper und sogar an meinen Ohren bemerken.
Dir fallen bestimmt zwei Fontanellen an meinem Köpfchen auf, also Membranen, die meine Schädelknochen verbinden.

I will no longer look like a small boxer. The redness and swelling will go down.
You can observe how the shape of my head is changing. It’s becoming more round instead of being elongated.
Most newborn babies experience newborn jaundice. Its symptoms normally develop on the second day after birth and it reaches its peak on the fifth day.
Physiologic jaundice is not dangerous, mom. Phototherapy treatment doesn’t have to be introduced if the bilirubin levels are not increasing.
Within the second or third day of life, I can lose weight. This is a normal process called the physiological weight loss.

My umbilical cord stump should fall off at this time.
I now spend most of my time sleeping. I can even sleep up to 20 hours per day.
While I’m asleep you might be surprised by uncoordinated movements of my arms and legs as well as the twitching of my face muscles. Some claim it is a result of having dreams.
You might think that I’m only a passive observer, but in reality I process everything that I see happening around me although I can only see things up close.
