Baby Genitals

For the first day or two after birth, your baby’s sexual parts will probably look
rather large, although this won’t last. A baby girl’s genitals may look red and
swollen, and she may produce a slight discharge or a few drops of blood from her vagina.
This is entirely normal and happens because she still has some of your hormones in her
system, which entered her circulation while she was in your womb. They will clear by the
end of the first week.

A baby boy may be born with his penis and foreskin partly fused, so that the foreskin
cannot be pulled back. This is quite normal; they will separate in time. There is no need
to pull back the foreskin or clean under it.
