Background: An early elimination of meconium before 24hours and less than 48 hours as well as a urine elimination before 24hours are two very important patterns that every newborn must perform in order to be considered healthy, since by not performing these two biological functions, an apparent cause should be suspected. According to studies, perinatal characteristics play an important role in terms of the biological functions performed by newborns. Methods: The study was observational, descriptive, transversal, retrospective and non- experimental. Data collection was carried out through a data collection sheet. The sample consisted of newborns at the Hospital Regional Del Cusco, during the year 2021. Results: Of the 184 newborns, the majority were male52.2% and female 47.8%, 85.3% eliminated meconium in the first 24 hours and up to 92.4% eliminated in the first 48 hours, the majority eliminated urine in the first 24 hours, within the perinatal characteristics, the lower the gestational age and birth weight, the meconium was eliminated after 48 hours, 52.7% vaginal delivery, 47.3% caesarean section, more than 90% obtained an Apgar score higher than 7 and in Regarding food, up to 69% had exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusions: Most newborns shed meconium within the first 24 hours, unlike those with low birth weight and preterm infants who tend to shed meconium after 24 hours. Delayed meconium clearance was considered after 48 hours.
