Thank you, ladies! At least I know it's normal and it will go away.

Human Bean, yep, definitely worse when she's hot.

Erin, some of them have little white heads and I sooooo wanna squeeze 'em! But I haven't and I won't...

Hmmm... several of you have mentioned hormones. Miss P also had a pseudo menses at about 7 -12 days. Wonder if it's all hormonally related???

Fingers crossed it clears up soon... even though she doesn't seem bothered it LOOKS painful. Thanks for your replies!

Yes its very much hormonal related, the first lot can be triggered from hormones delivery from birth, the second is from the hormones delivered in breastmilk. As the levels of hormones drop in breast milk due to the change from hormone induced supply to demand, the pimples should clear up, it can take about 3 months sometimes. It looks awful and painful but there is nothing that can be done, and nothing should be done to them, apparently it won't upset bubs but us poor mummies get upset instead.
