Default another thing - white milky discharge and anal rash?

oh, could be from the vagina, which would be normal at 1 week but now
I'd think thrush? Only my midwife looked at her mouth last week and
said she had no signs of it then...


oh you answered yourself, Ada had exactly the discharge you describe for
several weeks as a newborn, I think up to about 12 weeks is normal, it's
hormonal in cause, so it's got the same time frame as baby acne. Very much
doubt that she'd have vaginal thrush, if she did, the discharge would be
much thicker and probably yellower rather than milky.
