Our baby girl has had a little vaginal bleeding. Is this worrying?
It is quite common for baby girls to have a little bleeding a few days after they are born. During pregnancy, your oestrogen levels will have been high and some of this hormone will have reached the lining of your baby's womb. After she was delivered, her oestrogen level will have fallen, resulting in a little bleeding for a few days. A similar situation will arise if you are breast feeding and take an oestrogen treatment including the pill.
