Hello,
For such brown spots in babies, café au lait spots should be evaluated. They are not usually present at birth but present within the first few months to a year of life. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist for these spots.  Biopsy skin may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
