Is it normal that my baby's genitalia and breasts seem swollen?

Yes: Hormonal changes in infants will cause a decrease this swelling within weeks in most infants.

Prenatal hormones: Infants often show the influences of maternal hormones with genital enlargement at birth and breast tissue enlargement in both male & female infants.This will generally revert to a more normal appearance by 4-6 m.
