    It looks like maybe allergic reaction. Does she fuss a lot? could be laundry detergent or bath soap or lotion
  • LucasAndLolasMommyLucasAndLolasMommy
    Yea actually she has been fussing ALOT more than usual .
  • ProudmommaProudmomma
    She could be itching. I would call the doctor tomorrow and get an appt.

    Try using something different every few days to eliminate what it could be

    One of my friends daughter did that too. It turned out she had to have soy milk/formula.

    It looks like what my daughter has. I posted a discussion about it earlier in the week. Took her to the dr. and like I thought, turns out it was heat rash. My dr said babies sweat glands aren't developed like ours are yet. He gave me some hydrocortisone cream to put on it.
  • LucasAndLolasMommyLucasAndLolasMommy
    @pwchance the formula we give her when we do give it to her is the soy based formula it's called isomil .

    @kimalee2288 did it ever go away ?

    Ima take her clothes off & leave her in her diaper for a little while , see if it will start to clear up .

    It started a week ago and it gets better then goes back to the way it was. It just depends on the day, but it doesn't seem to bother her

    My baby had it on his chest when he had a cold and his doctor said it was from the same virus that caused the cold. Does she seem to have a cold?

    My baby girl had this but it wasn't as bad her doctor told me it was a mixture of baby acne and a viral rash she was about 4 weeks when this happened also but good luck I hope you find out what it is
  • starrxoxo9starrxoxo9
    Aw poor girl! Did you see the Dr yet?
  • LucasAndLolasMommyLucasAndLolasMommy
    @ta2edblondie after my breast milk dries on her skin , do I wash it off ?
  • LucasAndLolasMommyLucasAndLolasMommy
    I feel like I just drenched my babygirl in my breast milk lol
  • momof22bemomof22be
    My first had that it was a heat rash
  • brodysmammabrodysmamma
    My son has that. I thought heat rash so I bathed him and let him sit in his diaper. They started to go away and they are back now and worse. Yesterday I put breast milk on his face washed it with just warm water a few hours after and it cleared up pretty well. I just put a new carseat cover in his seat that's really warm I think its too warm for him.... try leaving her in a diaper. Oh and when I gave my son a bath it was cool water not to warm. Let me know how your daughters turns out I'm still trying to eliminate my sons little rash.

    @Samantha I've had her in her diaper since 3 . & I just put breast milk all over her chest , back , arms , & neck . She is knocked out right now . I'm going to give her a bath when daddy comes home from work at 12 pm . She didn't seem to be in any discomfort I just hate seeing it , makes me feel like she is sick . & I can't do anything about it !

    Jasmine had baby acne all over her face head and a little on her chest and back so I switched to aveno baby lotion and it helped
