One more Q for today I swear :/

Ok I'm not talking the little milk dots these are pimples or acne within a rash does that make sense? So little clusters of pimples and pimples on their own. What are they? Can someone tell me do I wash them? Leave them? Clean them? It's only been since qv oil in bath.....

Or is that a coincidence.

They are horrible!!!!!!

Is it normal?! Is is allergy?

Anyone experience this with newborn?

It's such a shame when your gorgeous fresh faced baby gets these but they all get them and they last a few of weeks and there's nothing you can do. Just keep bathing with QV oil and they will go away - it's not a topical skin problem, from what I've been told it's just that they drink so much milk and their body is getting used to that. Regardless they disappear quite quickly.

Yup dr looked at them while I was there for reflux issue last night and it's apparently from Breastfeeding or they are milk pimples or something anyway nothing I can do about them they are just horrid to look at

Yep DS got that a few days after he was born. Breastmilk does that. It's called "milia" and will disappear in a few weeks when bubs body is used to all the extra hormones being supplied by breastmilk
