The weight of a newborn depends on its genetic factors as well as on the nourishment provided during pregnancy. The average normal weight of newborn babies can range from 5 to 8 pounds. After birth the nutrition source of the baby changes but it is still dependent on its mother for its food, the baby learns to feed in absence of the placenta. Food is extremely important for supporting growth and other metabolic functions.

A newborn’s gastrointestinal tract or the digestive system as a whole has not been developed enough to process complex solid food items so it derives its nutrition from its mother’s milk. The milk of the mother is sufficient for the baby, being enriched with nutrients and antibodies required for continual growth.

As a newborn is still in the developing phase it is vulnerable to external factors in the environment like electromagnetic radiation, exposure to which can detrimentally affect its growth. Exposure to babies to electromagnetic radiation in recent times has increased due to scientific technologies in the field of wireless communications like EMF.

Even the baby monitors possess a threat as when they are on “standby” or “on” mode emit high-frequency radiations. Research indicates that exposure to even low-frequency magnetic fields may lead to the development of leukemia in children and the growth of tumors that are not detectable until adolescence.

A newborn’s nervous system is still developing and is thus, vulnerable to radio frequencies (RF) that can implicit adverse effects. Penetration of these frequencies occurs more in the babies than in an adult’s case. They will experience greater effects due to a longer lifetime exposure that will act cumulatively.
