Hi!!
DS is eight days old and today we noticed some small spots - on his arm and leg, a couple on his back.
Can anyone advise? Should we be worried?

It’s really common for new babies to get all manner of spots and pimples in the first few weeks. My 4 were covered in them! If the glass test says it’s ok then in your shoes I’d just monitor it for a day or so. Do you still have a midwife/health visitor coming around to put your mind at ease?
