Many parents have expressed their shock at the appearance of their newborn babies, which often differs from their expectations.
The story of a young boy visiting his mother in the hospital after giving birth to his sister is a humorous example.
A mother in China shared a heartwarming video of her five-year-old son visiting her in the hospital with a bright and colorful bouquet of flowers.
However, the boy’s first reaction wasn’t to his mother but to his newborn sister. He exclaimed in surprise, “She’s so ugly!“
The little boy walked straight from the door to his mother’s bedside, holding the bouquet and staring at his sister in disbelief.
His comment caused his mother and everyone present to burst into laughter.
In the comments below the video, the mother shared additional pictures of her daughter taken two to three months after birth, showing a remarkable transformation.
The little girl had a fair complexion, chubby cheeks, and a beautiful face. Interestingly, not only had the sister’s appearance changed, but the brother’s attitude towards her had also softened. He adored his little sister.
– When my baby was born, just after the C-section, the doctor showed me my baby, and I was about to say, “So ugly!” But the nurse quickly added, “Wow, she looks just like you!”
– There was no hint of surprise or joy in his eyes when he first saw his newborn brother; only shock at the appearance of a newborn.
– My brother was all wrinkly and red. So, I Googled:
“What to do if your baby brother is red?”
“Are aliens red?”
“Do Martians drink baby formula?”
“How do I turn a Martian into a human-colored Earthling?”
“What’s the Martian word for ‘why are you crying?’”
– When I was little, my mom told me I’d have a baby sister. So, when people asked if I was having a baby brother or sister, I confidently answered, “a sister.” If anyone said “brother,” I’d get angry! Turns out, it was a brother.
When he was born, my grandmother brought him to me and said, “You have a baby brother now!”
I hit him and said, “It’s your fault!”
… some netizens commented.
In reality, it’s not just this baby, but most newborns go through a transformation and become more beautiful with each passing day. So, parents shouldn’t worry. But why do newborns often look unattractive when they are born?
1. Swollen eyes due to amniotic fluid
Most newborns will have swollen eyes, which is a normal phenomenon. The swelling is mainly due to the pressure in the birth canal, and their eyes will “deflate” and appear larger in the following days. Parents need not worry.
In some cases, the swelling may be caused by an infection from amniotic fluid entering the baby’s eyes during birth. Parents should consult a doctor for timely treatment and maintain daily hygiene for the baby.
2. Head shape abnormalities due to confined space in the womb
Many newborns have abnormally pointed or uneven heads due to the softness of their skulls, which can be compressed during birth. This condition usually resolves slowly within 1-2 weeks, so there is no cause for concern.
3. Wrinkled skin due to prolonged exposure to amniotic fluid
As the baby spends ten months in the amniotic fluid, their skin becomes wrinkled, just like an adult’s hand would after prolonged exposure to water. This is the main reason why many mothers think their newborns are ugly. The skin usually returns to normal within 1-2 months.
