My babies had spots since birth and all the midwives at hospital said it was normal. They looked like single white heads all over the place. Then he developed a like heat looking rash and said that was normal, just newborn rash

My boy is 3 weeks and covered in acne. I was at my G P yesterday so asked her to take a look, she confirmed it's baby acne and it will pass in time. Breast milk can help to reduce them and get rid of it apparently x

My little one has the same. Told it is a generic new born rash/baby achne but my older son had the same and it turned out to be milk allergy related. He also never kept any milk down though
