A. Hello, Linea Nigra in babies is fairly common , especially in babies with more pigmented skin. It is thought to be hormonal and is likely to fade as your baby gets older.

A. hello what sort of line? if its a pigmentation line that can be either a birth mark or may fade as baby grows. if its some rashes kind of thing consult with your doctor in person for proper assessment. keep baby well hydrated exclusively breast feed your baby for the first six months after birth.

A. It depends from baby to baby but I feel and suggest It's better to check with your doctor and follow their advise. That would be one of the best and safest option for your baby as of now.
