Ta. Neither of my kids had a layer like that when they were born.

Back in ye olden days the midwives would remove it before handing the baby to mama. These days they leave it alone for as long as possible. Some babies have a thicker vernix than others.

I don’t remember the term “vernix”. I think it was called “cheese”, of all things.

Together with the placenta it can make a tasty after birth snack…
