Your baby does not have the perfect body you have seen in baby books.
Most newborns have some peculiar characteristics.
Fortunately they are temporary. Your baby will begin to look normal by 1 to 2 weeks of age. This discussion of these transient newborn characteristics is arranged by parts of the body. A few minor congenital defects that are harmless but permanent are also included. Call your physician if you have questions about your baby's appearance that this list does not address.
