A member asked:

Why is my day old newborn constantly sneezing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Air pollution: A newborn will react with sneezing when any irritant triggers the response. This is commonly things as simple as a woman's perfume,fragrances from a plug in or freshly laundered linen, smoke, dust, etc.If you can smell it it can make baby sneeze.
