A mum asked:

‘My 6-week-old baby has a whitish discharge. Is this normal? And when can circumcision be done?’

This is such an important question and I’m glad she asked.

Many newborn baby girls can have discharge in the first few weeks of life because of hormones they were exposed to during pregnancy. Sometimes it is completely normal. Other times, it needs to be checked.
