Mouth
Most children are born without any teeth. If your child does have a tooth at birth, check with your dentist to make sure it is a normal tooth with a root structure and not just an extra tooth which can dislodge and be breathed in accidentally.
The tongue in newborn babies has a very short band connecting it to the floor of the mouth. This usually stretches over time, and is not a cause for concern.
The ears of a newborn baby often look a little squashed. The cartilage hardens after about a month and the ears begin to take on their normal shape.
Chest
Newborn babies sometimes have enlarged breasts at birth due to the influence of the mother’s hormones inside the womb. This can occur in both male and female babies, and may last for several month. Occasionally a few drops or milk will tie secreted. If one breast becomes reddened or tender, check with your doctor in case it is a sign of infection.
