Abstract

Immediately after birth, the newborn breathes and expands its lungs, but the next requirement is food and water for maintaining normal plasma glucose and aminoacid levels, its body temperature and for growth. If food is not available just after birth, it is well known that the human newborn cannot maintain the deep body temperature, and supply energy and protein to the body cells. The full-term human baby is well endowed with fat, particularly brown fat and with glycogen in the liver. However, that will only suffice for a limited period of time, and the newborn must soon eat if he is to survive.
