Hello, I'm an expert in pediatric health. When it comes to healthy newborns without jaundice, they typically go through a series of normal developmental stages and milestones. Here's a brief overview:


1. Feeding: Newborns without jaundice usually have a good appetite and are able to feed well, whether it's through breastfeeding or formula feeding.

2. Sleeping: They sleep a lot, typically for about 16-18 hours a day, but in no more than 3-4 hour stretches at a time.

3. Physical Development: They grow and gain weight steadily. By the age of one month, a healthy baby can gain about 1 to 1.5 pounds.

4. Motor Skills: They start to develop basic motor skills, such as lifting their head briefly and reflexive actions like the grasp reflex.

5. Social Interaction: Even at this early stage, they begin to interact with others through eye contact and responding to voices.

6. Health Checks: Regular health check-ups are important to monitor their growth and development, and to ensure they are meeting the expected milestones.
