Newborns can have varying amounts of subcutaneous fat, which is usually normal and doesn't require medication. If the fat around her neck seems unusual or is causing concern, it's best to consult a pediatrician to ensure there are no underlying issues.
Next Steps
Regular check-ups are recommended to monitor her growth and development.
