My baby just started breaking out really bad in the last 2 days :( what can I do to get rid of it? And what would be causing it?

  • Breast milk
  • If you breastfeed you can use your breastmilk
    If not there isn't much you can do. It comes and goes
    There was a theory that it was caused from baby getting moms hormones but I think that has been thrown out.
    I personally think its just babys skin trying to get used to everything it comes in contact with.
    It should stop/ slow down as your baby gets older.
  • My baby have been having it on and off for a month now. Most of it cleared up. It comes n goes so dont pop it or use anything for it. It might make it worse
  • Ya it seems to come and go like right now she's sleeping and barely any acne noticeable but when she's awake it comes back its weird
  • She's 6 weeks now and its just started i was hoping it wouldn't come cuz i heard it usually starts around 4 weeks
  • I read online that besides breast milk you can mix together a tsp of honey and a tsp of lemon juice put it on the affected area for 15 minutes then wash off.
  • I'm n the same situation ugh r poor baby's
  • Just keep the skin away from other skin contact. Use blankets if her face is in contact with your skin. I use a cream called babyganics bye bye dry and its done wonders on his acne and eczema.
  • My babies doctor have me an ointment.for his and it cleared up overnight!
  • Breast milk worked for my son when he had bad acne
  • Mine is 6 weeks as well and just started getting it too. Breast milk is helping, but awake is also worse than asleep. (Crying gets everything red and irritated)
  • U know what? i figured out what some of it is from! when bd kisses her he scratches her with his facial hair! gives her a rash! but she still has quite a bit of acne
