Newborns are also coated with a thick, pasty, white material called vernix caseosa (made up of the fetus' shed skin cells and skin gland secretions), most of which will be washed off during the baby's first bath.
Your newborn's eyelids may be puffy. He may have blood spots in the white areas of one or both eyes. These are often caused by the pressure on your newborn's face during delivery. Eye medicines that your baby needs after birth to prevent infections may cause your newborn's eyes to look red.
