The Newborn Handbook Quotes

“Are the white spots on my baby’s face normal? Milia are tiny white spots or bumps on your baby’s nose, cheeks, and chin. They can be present at birth or show up a few days afterward. They are caused by dead skin cells that become trapped under the surface of the skin. These spots are common and present in almost half of all newborns. They will go away without treatment in a few weeks to months.”
