Baby Acne

Oh, Gabby. I'm so sorry for your poor little face. Gabby has got QUITE the bad case of baby acne. It's all over her face, including her eyelids and even on her earlobes and behind her ears. It's on her scalp, her neck, even a little on her chest. It's pitiful. She's definitely still cute, but NOT at her most attractive point of her life. 
So what should you do when your baby has acne this bad? The experts say nothing, but I disagree. I think every girl who is feeling less than 100% should at least have a pretty bow for her hair and pretty toenails. So that is exactly what we did.
p.s. A lot of people have said stuff like, "oh, she's still cute" or even "it's not really that bad" but a little girl at church was looking at her and made the comment, "why does she have red bumps on her face?" The truth comes out, people. Kids say what the rest of the world is actually thinking. That is one of the reasons I love kids so much. They are brutally honest.

Aw, poor baby! Is it possible she's sensitive to something you're eating? Perhaps that's part of the reason she's so fussy? Just throwing that out there ... Isaac had a similar problem when we were trying soy formula for his acid reflux.

try staying away from dairy...that is what my sister in law and friend had to do for a year while breastfeeding. Sounds like it is an allergy....??? Have the docs suggested anything?
