    The nurse would first assess the baby's respiratory rate and pattern. The assessment supposedly is done when the baby is resting and ensure that there are about 30 - 60 breaths per minute. Baby's breathing is the synchronous rising of the abdomen, diaphragm, and chest.

    The nurse would also reassure the mother that its common for the baby to have irregular inter spaced breathing with brief 10 - 15 seconds of apnea.
