First Time Mom and Need Advice

I might take her to the pediatrician. If it only happened once, maybe no biggie, but if it's consistent, she may have a yeast infection. It's easy for babies in diapers to get them.

Could be a yeast infection or just some type of normal discharge. Call the doctor on Monday just to be sure.

Call your doctor's office. As bizarre as it sounds, I've heard of infants having yeast infections.

normal...my kid is aboug 22 months old and I will see it sometimes in the evening before bath due from the destin we put on her...it like gets in the middle..but when they are little like yours its from the hormones. That should clear up I think by they time they are around 3 months old. Congrats.

My daughter had the same thing. If it is only white, it is caused by hormones, especially if you are breastfeeding. It is natural and fine. Now, if it is any other color, take her to the doctor...it will be something different. Congrats on your baby girl!

I'd call the ped office and ask the nurse. Could it be diaper cream that is seeping out?

It can be very normal. The hormones you produce for delivery are very strong, cross over to baby girl and often causes a small ovulation type discharge. Does it look like an ovulation type of discharge? Or does it look more yellow/cheesy? Either way, mention to your doc at her next baby check up, which should be soon.

My 2 month old had it, too for about 6 weeks. It's gone now... The ped told me it was completely normal.

I only have a boy so I can't help you there...just wanted to say (sonce you are a new mom) that you should NEVER hesitate to call the nurse at your pediatrician's office/clinic whenever you have ANY question about your baby. This is a great site and resource but I think a lot of new moms feel intimidated about calling the ped's office and you shouldn't be! Congratulations!
