If your baby’s skin appears blue colored, it may be a sign that the lungs or heart are not working properly, and the baby should be seen by a doctor immediately. A newborn’s hands or feet may appear blue when cold, and should quickly return to pink when warmed. Also, the face, lips, or tongue may appear blue during a period of hard crying, but should return to pink once the crying has stopped.

Babies are born with soft heads, allowing them room for their brains to grow. If a baby lays or sleeps in one position too often, that portion of his or her head may become flat, called “flat head syndrome”. If babies are laying down most of the day, this syndrome is more likely. To avoid flat head syndrome, hold your baby for periods of time during the day, either in your arms or in a baby carrier, change their sleeping position regularly, and practice appropriate amounts of “tummy time”.

In a newborn baby, even a slight fever may indicate an infection. Since your baby’s immune system is not developed, they may need medical attention to fight even the slightest illness. A physician should examine a newborn with any degree of fever.
