My newborn keeps breaking out with little bumps on his cheeks. Is this normal or is this maybe some kind of allergy or something? The bumps are only on his cheeks.

Starr M. Answered:

It is most likely "baby acne" caused from hormones from you...it can last longer especially if you are nursing. Both of mine had it on their cheeks and that's what doctors told me both times. I'd suggest asking your doctor just to be sure though at your next check up...unless a fever should develop then you should take your baby in.

p.s. congratulations!
