    My daughter has exema and it usually doesn't change during the day only with lotion after a few days.

    Could it be a heat rash?

    It looks like a rash. My son has excema and its just dry patches..they don't come and go.

    my daughter has exzema horribly an it doesn't come an go thru the day it will be dry an scaley.

    My sons ezcema doesnt look blotchy like that. Although the redness does seem to flare up if he cries.

    We saw the Dr on Monday and he said exema but i read about it and im pretty sure its not it! could be heat rash @navybabyonway @sands3
    that pic was taken about an hour ago and now its almost completely gone just a few small spots

    Yeah I'm thinking its some sort of rash you could try some extra nonscented lotion like baby aveeno or something like that and see if it changes in a few days, if not I'd baby back to the doctor.

    Its so weird. its completely gone now that she's sleeping. but comes back when she wakes

    Maybe psoriasis

    I always think its not to warm, but the carseats have so much padding and stuff.

    Glad they figured it out!

    Malia had baby acne that did the, came and went. Now she has excema.

    Is it bad if i don't take her for a blood test? the Dr is sure it is heat rash but ordered a blood test just in case. thing is i don't want to take her for it because it is so painful what they do to her (prick foot and squeeze) and I'm sure its heat rash too so i don't want her to go through the pain for nothing.
  • MorgDeeBeeMorgDeeBee
    I would take her just to be on the safe side. It only takes a few minutes then the pain is gone. I know its hard I had to take Juliana to have her blood drawn when she was a few days old. Its better to be safe then sorry.

    I would take her also in case its something else im not a baby but its not that bad if u ever got pricked to test ur blood the prick hurt for a second but the squeezing don't n its fast!
  • heyitsmeheyitsme
    Last time i took her she screamed the whole time it took over 5 mins for the nurse to do it she was in so much pain it was hard to calm her after. but i guess i will go... :(

    When my son had to get his blood test the tech (female) let me breastfeed while she did it... I got the evil eye but he kept on feeding. Maybe you can try that. With my daughter I gave her a bottle after and she was good.

    @lilbit_209
    What a great idea!...Breastfeeding. I think I'm going to ask if they will allow me to do that for 8 week old shots. It broke my heart when they had to draw my LO's blood. It took a second for it to hit him when they stuck him... but when it did, he let out this tiny little whimper, bottom lip came out, and then he started crying :( My heart broke...I about started crying along with him! Good thing Daddy was strong for both of us babies, lol.
  • heyitsmeheyitsme
    ended up not being so bad!! the lady decided to poke her in the arm and draw blood thru her vein. so just a small cry when poked and another when it came out. SO much better than squeezing her foot!
