spotty 3 week old
hi,
my 3 week old had broken out in horrible spots all over his face. I am a 2nd time mum so you'd think I'd know the answer, but I never remember my DD getting this many and so red. She got some milk spots but this looks awful. They are all over his chin and cheeks, bright red with white heads. They look so sore. Is this normal? at what point do I ask advice/get some cream for it? or is it just something you leave? is there anything I can do, it just looks so so sore!
any advice very much welcomed?????

It continued for a week or two nad then cleared itself up. I wouldn't put anything on your baby's skin. We were advised to apply some breastmilk directly to the skin and it cleared them up nicely.
I know it looks horrible and really painful but it disappears soon enough and you'll forget all about it. It's incredibly normal.
Congrats on your new bundle!
