Yes that's absolutely normal because many of the changes are happening in mother's body and hormones and that's the reason why sometimes like menstruation days kids may developed in first month 2 to 7 days of smile bleeding and white discharge as well which is normal don't worry about it keep the area clean and things should be fine very soon

Yes this is normal. Most girl babies tend to have some sticky secretions from the genitals around 2-7 days of life. This happens due to the decreasing levels of the maternal hormones in the baby’s blood after delivery. Just keep the area clean and it will resolve soon.

This is normal and usually happens in the first week of life in female newborns. Please keep the area clean by wiping with every diaper change.
