In matters related to the gastrointestinal system of the newborn, nurses should be aware that:
1. cheeks of the newborn are full because of normal fluid retention. 2. placing the nipple of the bottle or breast well inside the baby's mouth is necessary because teeth have been developing in utero and one or more may even be through. 3. regurgitation during the first day or two can be decreased by burping the infant and by slightly elevating the infant's head. 4. bacteria are already present in the infant's GI tract at birth because they traveled through the placenta.
