Rash

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

I noticed some tiny red bumps on LO during her bath yesterday. They are very patchy/scattered on her chest and stomach... nowhere else. And you really have to look to see them. Any ideas?

I thought it may possibly be a heat rash, because I ended up overdressing her yesterday. I thought it was colder where we were going and she got very warm, but it's still there this morning. It's not any worse though. 

She started oatmeal cereal on Saturday. I had thought that could possibly be the problem, but wouldn't it come up immediately and not wait for days?

I'm thinking of stopping it for a couple of days just to see if it makes a difference.

    my baby has the same thing on his belly.  ive been putting aquaphor on it and it seems to be getting better plus im only putting cotton clothes on him - i was putting heavy PJs on him because its been cold but i think that gave him the rash!

    My DS had the same thing. The doc said it was from too much soap in the bath which can dry out the skin. We are using a VERY sensitive skin wash and only take baths every other day or every two days. Plus Aquaphor lotion. The combo of both has helped immensely. It's all gone :)

    My LO had this last week...the doctor said it was a viral rash- not itchy or bothersome to him, just like tiny little goosebumps that were red- they go white when you press on them. I was told it's common for babies around this age- it just means that there is a virus in their body and they are building up immunity to it- they might get sick or be fussy..or just get a rash
