all (human) baby boys are able to produce semen in the first week of their lives but then can't again until puberty ..
Dunno about that but many newborn baby girls bleed slightly from the vagina.
It happens briefly in the first few days after birth, usually once, and is a natural effect of the female hormones passed through the placenta as it begins to separate.
(The same process that used to cause often fatal blood clotting in 'Rhesus' babies.)
I have seen this myself and had it explained to me by a reassuring midwife.
