A nurse is conducting a follow-up call with the parent of a 3-day-old newborn who is breastfeeding. Which of the following statements by the parent should the nurse report to the provider?

A. "My baby has a yellowish layer covering their circumcision.": A thin yellow exudate on a circumcision site is a normal part of the healing process and represents the formation of a protective scab. It is not a sign of infection and does not require immediate reporting to the provider. B. "My baby has crusty drainage in both eyes.": Bilateral eye crusting in a newborn may indicate conjunctivitis, which can be bacterial or viral and requires prompt evaluation. Newborn conjunctivitis can progress rapidly and may lead to complications if untreated, so the nurse should report this finding to the provider for timely intervention. C. "My baby has loose stools that are greenish-yellow.": Loose, greenish-yellow stools are common in breastfed newborns due to the digestibility of breast milk and normal meconium transition. This finding is expected and does not indicate pathology. D. "My baby's umbilical cord is still attached.": The umbilical cord typically detaches between 1–3 weeks of age. At 3 days old, it is normal for the cord to remain attached and requires only routine care and monitoring for signs of infection.
