I have spoke with her pediatrician about this several times and he just doesn't seem to understand what I'm telling him. I'm thinking of taking her to a gynecologist to have her look at her. I'm just concerned something might be abnormal. The discharge is very little and thick. It will just go away by itself. The only way I know that it is there is when I wash her she will tell me I'm hurting her. If I lay her down and look at her vaginal are her clitoris will be a little swollen. Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing this?

You are probably washing her too hard. If it goes away by itself and is only a bother when you bather, er, bath her, ease up a bit.
