Newborn baby girls can experience a phenomenon called “false menses” or “mini-periods” due to a sudden drop in maternal estrogen after birth, causing slight vaginal bleeding or a blood-tinged discharge that typically lasts only a few days.
And both boys and girls often have a redish discolouration in their nappies initially - aka brickdust deposit.
Totally benign almost all of the times, but a lot of parents are shocked.
