Baby acne

My little girl has terrible baby acne all over her face and chest. It’s been nearly two weeks and it’s looking so bad still. She’s nearly one month old. Any tips? Does mustela cleansing liquid work?

I’ve heard that mustela works, if you’re breastfeeding that will also work, just hand express a little and rub it in or give a milk bath x

Breastmilk! Will be gone overnight!

I read that the bacteria in breast milk can make it worse. I did try it earlier on and it didn’t go overnight and did get worse but possibly not related? Such a minefield!

My baby is also suffering terribly with it! I’ve had him in a bath with breast milk and also cleansing his face twice a day with watered down breast milk and then rubbing some colostrum on it afterwards, I can definitely see a difference especially in inflammation x won’t go over night but I guess if we stay consistent we’ll see a bigger difference x

@Rebekah how much breast milk do you add to the bath? Ours has gone beyond the pimple stage now and just looks like a red rash that’s dry and inflamed.

I didn’t measure just used whatever we had leftover so maybe around 8-10oz x for cleaning morning and night there’s about 2oz mixed with same amount of boiled water (let cool) x

Breast milk definitely did not work for us
