What is the reason for the white discharge from the baby girl's private parts?

Because newborns have been in the mother's body for a long time after birth, their skin may be adhered to some blood or mucus. It is also common for baby girls to have white secretions in the private parts after birth. This may be a secretion produced in the mother's body. Parents can pay more attention to observation and proper cleaning to avoid bacteria from entering.

Is it normal for a newborn girl to have white discharge in her private parts?

It is normal for a newborn girl to have white discharge from her private parts.

A newborn baby girl will have some secretions in her private parts for a period of time after birth. This phenomenon is generally normal. Mothers do not need to worry too much. They can use the following methods to clean it. However, if there is discharge in the private parts and the baby appears very uncomfortable, then mothers need to use some ointments or oral medications containing antibiotics for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Why does a newborn girl have white discharge from her private parts?

The white secretion is produced under the influence of the mother's endocrine system.

Because the baby was in the mother's belly before, it was affected by the female hormones produced by the mother's endocrine system, resulting in white secretions in the private parts at birth. Usually this layer of white secretions is on both sides of the perineum of newborn baby girls. This is not vernix caseosa, but normal vaginal secretions. Some newborn girls have a small amount of non-purulent white secretions out of the vagina after birth, which can last for 1 week. And as the estrogen level in the baby's body gradually subsides, the secretions will gradually decrease.

Does a newborn girl need to wash her private parts if she has white discharge?

If there is white secretion in the private parts of a newborn girl, it can be cleaned appropriately.

If a newborn girl has white secretions in her private parts, mothers can use a cotton swab and warm water to clean the baby. Be careful not to use too much force when cleaning. The specific cleaning method and steps are as follows.

How to clean the white discharge from the private parts of a newborn baby girl

Step 1: Prepare cleaning supplies

First of all, parents should prepare special towels, washbasins, cotton swabs, warm water and other supplies for cleaning the private parts of the newborn baby girl.

Step 2: Warm water

When using water to clean the private parts of a newborn baby girl, heat the water to boiling and let it cool to about 40°C before use. The water cannot be half hot and half cold to avoid the baby being infected by bacteria in the water.

Step 3: Clean your private parts

1. When cleaning the genitals of a newborn baby girl, clean the labia minora (the urinary area) from the middle to both sides, and then clean the genitals and anus from front to back. Be sure to clean the anus to prevent bacteria in the anus from entering the vagina. There is no need to clean the inside of the labia.

2. For white secretions in the private parts, mothers can use a soft towel dipped in water or a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of tea oil and gently wipe it off. Be careful not to use force or clean it frequently.

Step 4: Daily cleaning precautions

1. Parents do not need to be too nervous about some daily secretions and clean them repeatedly. These secretions can actually play a protective role for the baby's fragile mucous membrane, and excessive cleaning is harmful rather than helpful.

2. For baby girls under one year old, there is no need to open the labia for cleaning every time. Just clean the outside.

3. In addition, do not apply talcum powder on the baby's private parts after cleaning. The dust of talcum powder can easily enter the deep vagina from the vaginal opening, and even the internal genitalia, so it is best for girls not to apply talcum powder on their lower body.

Newborn baby girls have these abnormalities

1. Newborn baby girl's breathing abnormality

After the child falls asleep, the new mother suddenly finds that the baby's breathing rhythm is abnormal, as if he is breathing with his stomach, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, the rhythm is very chaotic, and sometimes it even seems that he is not breathing out. This is because the newborn's nasal cavity, trachea, chest muscles, lung elastic tissue, etc. have not yet fully developed, making the entire breathing process appear to be completed by the abdomen, so parents do not need to worry too much. However, parents need to note that if the child's breathing rate changes suddenly, for example, more than 60 times per minute, and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, refusal to eat, and redness of the face, then the child may have a respiratory disease such as pneumonia and needs to seek medical attention promptly.

2. Newborn baby girl's body occasionally trembles

When mothers are preparing to dress or bathe their children, they suddenly find that their children's hands and feet are trembling, which scares many mothers. It is a normal physiological reaction for newborns to occasionally experience tremors in their limbs. This is because the newborn's brain tissue has not yet matured and cannot control its limbs normally. Therefore, parents do not need to panic too much. As long as the symptoms are not persistent and long-term and occur occasionally, there is no need to seek medical attention. Once the child grows up and his brain function is sound, the symptoms will disappear naturally.

3. Newborn baby girl's nipples have milk

Many parents may have encountered a situation where a newborn girl's nipples had liquid similar to milk flowing out, which surprised the parents. This is also caused by changes in the hormone levels in the newborn's body. Parents must not "squeeze milk" or "suck milk". Just wipe it gently with a sterilized cotton swab. Generally, the symptoms will disappear naturally after two or three days. During this time, the child eats normally and does not require any other special care.

4. Newborn baby girl has small pieces of meat in her mouth

When a baby girl is born, there will be some small pieces of flesh on her vulva. These small pieces of flesh are like fleshy growths on the skin. If there are no discomfort symptoms, the mother does not need to worry too much. However, if the growths grow with the baby, you should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.
