hey! I saw your post about the baby acne.  DD NEVER had baby acne...but DS did.  I freaked out when I saw it and took him to the pedi.  She told me that it's extra hormones being released through his skin...or something aroudn those lines.  They should be gone no later than 4-5 months.  DS's was all the way gone by 3 1/2 months.  If you have photoshop...or know someone who does. They can smooth out your LO's skin.  That's what my photographer gave me the option of doing.  I chose not to because I wanted to have pictures of him...not a touched-up baby.  But that was my choice.  Your not a bad mommy for feeling that way.  I was a little "self-conscious" of it the first month.  But it DOES go away!  And I've never heard of them having the huge chance of getting it when they are older because of baby acne.  I don't think that has anything to do with it.  I wouldn't worry!  HTH!
