Keep baby skin clean

The laundry detergent you use for the baby’s clothing should also be free of chemicals and perfumes. These harsh elements in detergent can be rough on the soft skin and cause irritation leading to acne on the stomach and back.

Giving the baby a bath regularly will help treat the acne problem. The best time to do this is at bedtime. After bathing the baby you should also use baby oil on the full body so that you can help keep the little one’s skin soft and smelling fresh. Rubbing the oil on in slow soothing motions also helps the baby relax and settle down for a good night’s sleep.

There is no one way to prevent baby acne from occurring and it is likely that your new baby will have this condition at some time during the first few months of life. You simply need to be vigilant about caring for the baby's skin and when the acne does occur, it is just a waiting game for it to clear up.
