3 week old DD is very spotty, like teenage spots........is it normal.

They don't seem to be bothering her, but over the last couple of days I have noticed these spots on her face. They are just like teenage spots and are around her mouth, nose and 'T' zone.

Are they normal?

yes very (can't remember why though) [youngest child now 3 emoticon]

Normal!

They'll be gone by 6-7 wks, get HV to check them if v red but just wipe with cotton wool and water.

dd1 had this, doctor said it was her skin getting used to the air after beinf inside for 9 months.

Yes very very normal - and it is sort of teenagery in a faintly creepy way! It's your hormones working their way out of her.

It's the reason people take all those new newborn pix and then strangely there's a bit of a gap until the six-week cherub stage. Because there's those spots. They will pass!

Thanks everyone, awwwww bless her teenage spots at 3 weeks!!

yes they're normal. it's a bit embarrassing takign your gorgeous but spotty child out for a while but they do go, leaving lovely skin underneath

Normal and very annoying - we have the gap in pictures Bink talks about

DS is 7 weeks old and has been spot free for a couple of weeks now so just try to ride it out.

Or, take a billion pictures to use as ammo in the teenage years?

lol at taking pics to use as ammo, good advice, thanks

Yes. Called "baby acne" for obvious reasons.
