Hello,
Welcome to HCM, thank you for posting your query.
I understand your concern.
Applying toothpaste on your acne on face will not be harmful to your baby.
Although the effectiveness of it is questionable.
You can try soothing agents like Zinc Oxide(soothes and acts as a natural sunscreen, prevents bacterial growth and calms the skin), Aloe extract( soothes, calms, moisturizes, heals and hydrates skin)
Hope this information helps you.
