In the early days, it can seem like nothing helps comfort a crying baby. But with time and patience, you can figure out what works for them. We offer a few tips to try, from snuggling them close to gently rocking them.
Did you know?
Babies are born with extra fluid in their bodies, which can cause their genitals to be a bit swollen for the first few days. Baby girls are also born with some of their mother's hormones, and this can sometimes result in a creamy white discharge, or even a mini period in the first few days.
This is all perfectly normal in the early days with your baby. However, you should see your GP if your baby boy still has swollen genitals after a few days, or if your baby girl still has discharge after six weeks.
