Advice for how to treat baby acne?

Casea posted February 10

My baby is 4 weeks old and has had acne on his cheeks, nose, and forehead for a couple of weeks now. Is this normal? How do I treat it? Not gonna lie, I'm starting to get worried!

Yes, it’s totally normal! It usually lasts for a month or so, hang in there. I know it’s awful but it is a sign that you have a growing baby, which is great!!

I read on a blog that some moms think the pimples look less irritated when breastmilk is applied. Haven’t tried it yet but definitely going to.

use plain natural vaseline after washing the face,apply about 3 times daily or when ever you like after a few weeks you will see beautiful skin.

First I hate to say t his but try not to allow people to kiss your baby. I know that seems a little harsh but all your acne spots are kissing spots. I got that little tip from one of the older women at church when I had my first baby. Try A&D ointment
