my poor little peanut is just covered in pimples all over her mug!!!
I took her to the pediatrician today cause they are starting to sneak up around her eyes and I was insecure about that. She said it's a pretty bad case, but nothing we can do - just wash with baby soap when she gets a bath. no creams or anything. Poor little thing - she looks awful!!!

Briana had the same thing. It went away in a few days.

Re: infant acne
Mia had the same thing! it was horrible (well at least to a Mom) it doesn't go away but it just seems like it takes forever. Just keep her face clean and dry and she'll be perfect in no time (not that she already isn't perfect)

Nicolas had this as well. It really does come and go VERY quickly.

Re: infant acne
I heard that this was common in newborns, around 6-8 weeks old. My niece had a bad case when she was a little over a month old.

Re: infant acne
right on schedule ... . Its amazing how predictable it is. Maria had the same & it went away within about 2 weeks.

She'll be okay. Molly looked like a teenager with bad skin for a few days. I found that Gerber's Teeney Face Mosturizer stick was good for her little soft skin.

Re: infant acne
There really isn't anything you can do for this...it all happens b/c your hormones are leaving their system. It goes away just like it came...don't worry!

Re: infant acne
Thanks! Guess I just have to wait it out. The Dr. did say that it hits at around 6 weeks. It really is amazing how it all works!
Hopefully she'll be cleared up soon. It doesnt' seem to be bothering her thank goodness
