Yes normal for newborn! Babies who do not have much vernix at birth tend to have more skin shedding aft birth but don't worry abt it! I put baby-friendly moisturiser. PD says can also just leave it, it'll go away aft a few wks. Just don't bathe baby for too long as water can dry out baby's skin easily.
