Caring for your baby during the first months - Parenting.com
You knew she'd be wrinkly when she was born, but did you know she could arrive with boobs? Three quirks explained:
The surprise: Breast buds on girls or boys; they might even secrete milk
The cause: Your hormones, which pass through the placenta. A big dose can trigger breast growth.
When it'll go away: In a week or two, after the hormones in your baby's body taper off
The surprise: White or yellow spots on the roof of the mouth, called Epstein pearls
The cause: Skin cells trapped where the two halves of the mouth palate fused together
When it'll go away: In a week or two -- the friction of sucking while eating will wear them down
The surprise: Bloodshot eyes and bruises on the head
The cause: Pressure on the head during delivery
When it'll go away: Within a week, just like any other broken capillary or bruise
