6 days old baby girl vaginal blood...why?
I am a medical student and I would advise you to go to see a doctor as I have never seen a case of this especially in such a young child. Make an appointment as soon as possible because many clinics will be closed for Christmas. Hospitals are always open if you think you really need to go, but remember it will be really busy. Hope everything's okay!
My daughter has the same thing, shes a week old.
I was worried, so i asked my mom she had never seen it b4, and so i asked my older brother who has two little girls, he said its never happened with them but that its normal. your hormons throws hers out of wack. My mother in law also said the same thing. just let ur doctor know and keep track of it.

You should immediately consult a doctor as i haven't heard this kind of thing in my life.
We have a new born and she is doing the same thing. It's hormones tricking the little body into thinking she's in puberty!!??!?! Crazy but true, it should go away in a month or so from what I've read.
This is usually a normal finding in newborn females. The maternal estrogen crosses the placenta, stimulating growth of the endometrium (uterine lining) in the infant girl. After the infant is born, there is no longer a supply of estrogen from the mother to support endometrium growth, and hence the lining of the uterus is shed. This is like a "mini-period". It does not indicate early puberty, only estrogen exposure from the maternal circulation. Just talk about it with your pediatrician, but it is usually no reason to make a trip to the emergency room.
