that's not a milk stain. According to the pds, that's actually their suction pads, and it's there because because they suck at your breasts or at the bottle.

dont't try to remove it cos it's actually just dried skin. It's really harmless, and in fact, you'll prob be tearing off the skin if you do try to remove the 'white stain'.

My dear daughter used to have it and in fact, still does, once in a while.

And no, it's not because they are heaty, or your milk is lousy etc...

And I even believed in the dry lips during pregnancy gender superstition lol!

What a great response! Many moms make mistakes when they try to remove it, but it is just dried skin.
It is completely harmless and I would not worry about it at all if I were a mommy again.
