Mum makes face mask out of breastmilk for her newborn baby

A new mum has gone viral after creating a facemask from her own breastmilk to relieve her baby's skin condition.

First-time mum Linh Ta was desperate to help her newborn son's skin after noticing he had developed little red bumps on his face.

As the youngster's skin was too sensitive for anything medication, she decided to make him a face mask out of the best natural baby medicine there is - breastmilk.

Delighted with her invention the mum shared the process on TikTok - where she's known as @ahlingaling - and it has since gone viral, gathering a staggering 4.2 million views since being posted.

The caption reads: "When your baby has acne and you make a breast milk mask for him."

Once the sheet had absorbed the breast milk, Lihn then simply places it on her baby's face.

She then leaves it on his skin in the hopes it may help soothe his skin.

She added: "I made the mask purely out of boredom and just to have a little fun. I'm a first-time mom so I'm learning things as I go."

The video has received more than 489,000 likes and 1,800 comments from people who thought it was an adorable way for her to bond with her baby.

One person said: "Your baby is going to LOVE these photos when they are like 16 years old lol."

Another wrote: "Um my heart is screaming this is too cute. Not me going to go cut up a dry wipe and do this on my 9 week old."

A third commented: "I need a before and after result?

She starts by taking a clean, dry face mask sheet and placing it in a bowl of breastmilk.
