I had and Iud put in on July 29 and every since then my baby has developed baby acne I was advised cause of a hormanal embalance. The docter has prescribed a cream but that really isn't helping has anyone experienced this and if so did you stop breastfeeding. Any advice would help thank you ladies.

Ididnt have an IUD and my dd had baby acne and it just went away, its normal for them to get it. unless she is unconfortable dont stop breast feeding just because she has baby acne.

I've had the IUD for over a year now and haven't had any acne problems....I use generic acne cream (pimple cream) and those acne face pads.Now if I run out of the face pads I'll break out....I also use basis face soap....good luck-hope it gets better!

I don't have a baby, but a friend of mine has a couple of month old baby and he has baby acne and she isn't on any hormones at all. She was telling me babies get the acne because of the natural hormones that come from the mom. So, I would say that your baby's acne is quite normal and to continue breast feeding.


If you more concerns, I would suggest talking to your doctor (even if just on the phone).
