Question
Why do newborns have red veins on their faces?
Answer
Red veins on a newborn’s face may be due to dilated capillaries, a condition that is more common in children with fair and sensitive skin. As the child grows older, this situation may sometimes improve naturally. Be cautious when feeding, avoiding spilling milk on the face to reduce the risk of skin issues. On sunny days, it’s appropriate to let the child get some sun exposure.
