Welcome Googler's! If you are here about Milia, read on. If you are interested in the original blog archive page, click here.

So I'm guessing your child has Milia, you're worried about it, and you found a link to our site via a picture on Google. We discovered (quite accidentally) that our little baby blog was getting a lot of hits from people purely intersted in learning about milia. So rather than bore you with stuff about our child that you don't care a hoot about, we made this page all about milia.

Most important: it goes away. I know it looks yucky and seems to mar your otherwise perfect angel, but fear not, with just a little patience it will most likely go away all on it's own.

Milia is just small pockets of dead skin trapped under your babies skin. They are quite common in newborns and usually go away all on their own. If you are really worried about them, talk to your peditrician. Otherwise, they should go away in a few weeks.

So, just to reiterate, it will all be ok! It goes away and your child will be just fine. Our daughter's faded after a couple weeks and she was no worse for wear. (She just celebrated her third birthday.)

We hope this helps. If you found this useful, please consider helping us pad Libby's college fund. nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean ;)
