HEALTH TOPICS TREATMENT TIPS
| NEWBORN GUIDELINES Normal Newborn Sneezing and hiccups are normal for newborns. You may note some "noisy" breathing caused by nasal congestion. If this occurs before a feeding or prior to sleep, you may use saline nose drops (Ocean or equivalent) and a nasal aspirator/bulb syringe to gently clear the nose.  A creamy white discharge from the eye is common. This is not usually an eye infection, but rather results from a partial tear duct obstruction. Cleanse the eye with a cotton ball moistened in warm water. The discharge gradually disappears over several weeks and occasionally months. Babies often have a rash on the face or torso which may resemble mild acne. 'Baby acne' should resolve within a few weeks without treatment. For serious symptoms in an infant, visit When To Call the Doctor. |
