If the baby is otherwise fine, I would not worry about this. What's the
point? If the mother wants to try breast compression to increase the time
of nursing on the first side, this may make a difference. The information
on breast compression may be found at:

The zits on the face can look very bad, without necessarily being anything
and without there necessarily being a connection with the smelly stools.
Zits are there to remind parents that their babies are not *perfect*.
