Answer
Generally speaking, irregular heartbeat in newborns is a common phenomenon that usually gradually returns to normal as the child grows. There is no need to be overly concerned at this time; simply ensure good care of the baby, avoiding excessive excitement, crying, or laughing to prevent discomfort caused by oxygen deficiency. Maintaining a good lifestyle is sufficient.
