Your Newborn Baby's (Not So Perfect) Appearance
Congratulations! You just gave birth to a beautiful baby. Well, to be perfectly honest—newborn babies are often pretty funny looking (in a cute sort of way!). Here are a few of the interesting traits that make newborn babies so endearing:
report abuse- They often have coneheads—after coming through the vaginal canal, it's no surprise that newborn babies' heads are a little bit squashed!
- Don't be surprised if your newborn's hands and feet look a little bit like alien hands and feet (if aliens had hands and feet, that is!). They might be wrinkled and bluish. Newborn babies' feet often turn in a little bit and their toes may overlap. Freaky, right?
- Your newborn might have what looks like a bad case of drandruff—it's called cradle cap and it's perfectly normal.
