While nuchal cords (an umbilical cord wrapped around the neck of the infant) can occur in neonates, they are not considered a "normal" finding and require monitoring by healthcare providers. Vernix caseosa (a waxy substance covering the skin of newborns), acrocyanosis (blue discoloration of the hands and feet due to immature circulation), and fontanels (the soft spots on a newborn's skull) are all normal findings in neonates.
