The newborn is not as helpless as you think. Discuss.
✓
Answer
The newborn is not as helpless as we might think:
The activities needed to sustain life functions are present in the newborn-it breaths, sucks, swallows and discharges the bodily wastes.
Newborns in their first week of life are able to indicate what direction a sound is coming from, can distinguish their mother's voice from the voice of other women, and can imitate simple gesture like tongue protrusion and mouth opening.
