When Charlotte was newborn she had exactly the same thing. My mw said it was normal as they do sometimes shed a little bit of skin after being born as they are so used to being kept wet in your womb their skin just dries out a lot when born. It should pass soon but you can rub a little bit of olive oil onto her skin - a tiny bit though. Because it's a natural oil this is the best thing to use. When I did baby massage we used olive oil instead of creams. Don't use baby oil as this acts more like a barrier on the skin & wont sink in & may irritate her.
