NEWBORN
General Appearance of Newborns
We’ve all seen the rarely complicated TV and movie births that show the delivering mom ridiculously pulled together – makeup neat and not a hair out of place. After a few minor pushes and groans, out pops baby (who is incidentally in reality several months old) nice and clean and neat.
If you’ve given birth or been present during a delivery, you know exactly how mom and baby really look. Baby emerges bluish, covered in blood and cottage cheesy goop and perhaps a little or a lot worse for wear. So the fact that your newborn doesn’t resemble the “Hollywood” norm shouldn’t surprise you.
