Rash? Maybe heat rash?

Anyone’s baby had a similar rash? What was it?

My 6 week old has had this rash that started beginning last week, it’s mainly around her neck and chest but some spots come and also has small bumps on her cheeks…. She’s breastfed and had some what seems like loose poos but she has for quite awhile

We saw our paed when it first started, he wasn’t worried and he said it was a viral rash but not sure as thought it would be gone by now

My Mchn said it’s a normal breastfeeding rash.

Yes normal breastfeeding rash, my kiddo had this as well, really bad around neck and torso/face.

My LO just recently had something similar it started spreading, we were told excma then told it was an intolerance, it never went away an she got really unsettled so we went to the hospital- turns out it was staph. If your gut is telling you something different go seek further advice - I saw 3 docs before going to the hospital an all 3 docs missed the infection because they didn’t do a swab test. Hospital did this Wednesday we had confirmation of staph Saturday

My son got a rash extremely similar to that picture every time he was teething, it’s how I knew every time that he had a new tooth coming through!

I recommend organic whipped tallow cream to help 🙏 I got tallow with coconut oil from Heidi's tallow from instagram. But there is a lot of people selling it these days , esy enough to find. Goodluck ♥️

If the rash/loose poos started after her 6week jabs, I'd be asking the Dr (could be a reaction).
Otherwise, looks similar to a BF rash.
