That sounds normal to me. It's called 'urates' and happens around day 4-7 I think. Our girls had this too, it gave me a terrible fright with DD2 as she had quite a bit of it but its totally normal and should only happen once or twice that's it. Urates is the salts in the kidneys being flushed away
can be hormonal changes too.

I think you only need to call a nurse if it's happening all the time BUT of course if it doesn't feel right give someone a call. Just to be safe. But it sounds normal to me.

It happened with boh my girls and is quite normal in newborn girls.

i was warned after having all my girls that little girls can have like a "mini period" cos of all our hormones that go through to them. My girls all had "breast buds" that went down after the first week or so, never had the period though. But yes i think anything that worries you you should get checked out.

I'd still call the health line.

But I have heard of it happening before. Something to do with the hormonal changes. Hopefully that's all it is.

Baby girls can have a kind of withdrawal bleed after birth just because they are no longer under the influence of your hormones.

Sounds like urates.

Is it crystal-like? Is babe feeding well?

Otherwise, bleeding can occur in newborn baby girls due to the high amount of homones from birth. Its called pseudomenstruation
