Baby's First Bowel Movement: What You Need to Know

Question
My neice just delivered c-section.  They said the baby had a bowel movement and they think he might have ingested some.  I just watched a program on this but can't remember what they said.  Could you give me some info on possible problems this might cause.  Or something that I can tell my sister to feel better, she is really scared right now

Answer
This is fairly common.  Usually the problem is the baby inhaling the first bowel movement.
Most babies recover fine from this.  Have her (0r you) ask lots of questions to the Nurses and Doctors and the hospital they will be able to tell you for your sisters particular situation.
Good luck.
