Momma, how would you look in the first days after the 9-month voyage in salt amniotic fluid? Even completely is healthy babies are born somewhat prematurely, so they need a little time to become serious "inoplanetyanchikov" in smiling beetles. And these are the "error" in the appearance of the baby that should not scare you in the first 100 days of life.
Transition states.In the first weeks of the baby in the observed features of the state, which in medical jargon is called transient, that is transitional.
Crumb is getting used to life in a new environment - studies on new to eat, breathe, move, see and hear, and these "signs" adaptation, which appear on the body and the state of the crumbs are absolutely normal.

He swallowed amniotic fluid, in which the floating fine particles, so baby is born with a complete intestines, and in the first days of walking "in a more" original feces - meconium (it is very dark or greenish colors). That is the reason that the weight of the crumbs after birth is one, and when discharge is 10% less (e.g., birth weight - 3000 g and at discharge - 2700 g). And this pattern.
White spots on the face (milii). The sebaceous glands in the skin is still closed, so the first few weeks of visible white dots especially in the nose kid.
Kid as red as tomatoes. This skin color due to the fact that the crumb is adapted to life in a new air, and the skin also performs a respiratory function
Cloudy urine and pieces of brick red in diaper (Urate infarction). In the early days of kidney crumbs only learn to work, so the crumb rarely urinate, and the urine is cloudy enough. As a rule, a pipsqueak "wets" as many diapers as his days.
Selection of girls, breast engorgementin children. This is a sign of natural sexual crisis in the newborn - so affect the body maternal hormones. Girls are sometimes clear or bloody discharge from the vagina, which resemble neobilnye monthly. Boys and girls may be swollen mammary glands may even follow drops of colostrum.

Stork bitten. So it is popularly known as spider veins on the back of the head or on the little face crumbs. These spots appear in the womb the baby due to the fact that pipsqueak rests on the mother's pelvic bones. These spots disappear within a few weeks or months.
Physiologic jaundice. Skin and mucous membranes may acquire a yellowish tint - which is associated with the "metamorphosis" of hemoglobin in the baby's blood (fetal (fetal) hemoglobin breaks down to release ilirubina pigment). And this is the bilirubin just coloring the skin and whites of the eyes yellow crumbs. It should be easy to put the baby to the breast on demand, and everything will be 2-3 days.
