A member asked:

13 days old girl with snot-like reddish vaginal discharge. is this normal or a sign of infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal event: Probably 1/10 infant females will have a small amount of menstrual blood as early as the 4th and seldom later than the 12th day after birth. It is seldom more than would cover a few q-tips.This is due to withdrawal of pregnancy hormones which stimulate the baby uterus.Many more will have a mucousy sticky discharge.It should be a one time event.
