I just got home today from the hospital with my LO and he is covered in what looks like little tiny zits. The nurse I asked said this is normal and will clear up on its own... anyone else dealing with this or have any suggestions?
They don't seem to be bothering him but they look like they might be sore.
thanks

This for us too! It started out looking like baby acne and then spread to her back and chest, then to her arms. She seemed super fussy, so I took her to the doctor and he prescribed the cream. It's gone for the most part now. Save yourself some money and just go buy some 1% cortisone cream!
Then came a miscarriage March '11
Then came a baby in the baby carriage May 16, 12
Waiting on our second little peanut!
I'll leave it be for another day or two to see if it clears up, but in the meantime I'll grab a tube of lotion. I did get one interesting piece of advice from my health nurse today - she said to put breast milk on them and it'll help clear them up.
I tried it on some on his face and they're already less red!
