Fill in the blank with the appropriate word.
ANS: quiet alert
The quiet alert state generally occurs during the first 30 minutes to 1 hour after birth and characterizes the first period of reactivity. This period is an excellent time for parents to bond with their infant. After that time, the infant's alert states result from choice or necessity. Stimuli that may prompt wakefulness include hunger, cold, and heat—once the triggering stimuli are removed, the infant tends to fall back to sleep.
