No urinary output since birth can indicate a serious renal issue and should be reported immediately to the doctor. Crossed eyes while focusing on an object is normal for a newborn and typically resolves on its own. Slight yellow discoloration of the skin is common and may indicate physiologic jaundice, which is normal and typically resolves without treatment. A brief pinkish discharge from the vagina is common and is due to maternal hormones being passed on to the newborn.
