Newborn - white patches on skin

Hi,
My newborn son will be two weeks old tomorrow.
Over the last few days, we have noticed patches of white over his feet, legs, hands etc. - please see attached photo.
Is it normal please? I thought it might be to do with him growing but I'm not sure...

Thank you in advance 🙂

It’s peeling skin and completely normal

Yes just dry skin. Use some baby moisturisers on the bad patches. Had this with all 3 of mine.

Completely normal. Imagine how dry and flaky your skin would be if you had sat in a bath for nine months.

PS. Is there anything cuter than baby feet? ❤️
