Totally normal. Newborns have what is called newborn acne or newborn rash. And it’s completely normal first couple of weeks.

It could also be a heat rash

I don’t breast feed😕 do you know of anything else that would help?

Very normal… got cleared within couple of days for my baby.

Also, I applied some breast milk, although not required

My new baby got it to Doc said it was newborn acne and totally normal 😊

My baby has it to ur not alone I actually logged on just now to see if anyone else was experiencing the same thing

Normal. My baby got it exactly when the doctor said he would around 2-3 weeks of birth

my baby has that right now, specifically on the side he sleeps the most. he also has a dry face. im using this nighttime face balm for the first time i will let you know if it works!

I used tubby Todd & it worked on one side but not the other … tried breast milk tonight so hopefully that helps

I used mustela cleansing water. I rub some on in the morning and at night and it has made a huge difference.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
