Back rash

Just noticed a rash on my LO’s back. Wasn’t here yesterday. Will take her to doctors on Monday should it continue to spread but has anyone got any idea what it could be or experienced something similar? Thinking it could be eczema but unsure. Any advice is appreciated. I was exclusively breast feeding but I am now combo feeding - using kendamil.

Thanks

Could be eczema! That’s what my LO has.. he has it on his back just like that as well. Washing him with a fragrance free wash & keeping him moisturized all the time has helped it a lot. I’d bring him to the pediatrician just to make sure though 😊

My LO has it and our ped told us to stop using honest company and it's actually started to help. Not all fragrance free wash and lotion are equal! Mustella is our new favorite and has helped massively

Thanks both - I’m using CeraVe which is fragrant free. I have recently changed fabric conditioner so thinking it may also be a contributing factor. Will see how it goes and speak to GP Monday. Thanks again xx

I use Little Butterfly London for my daughter, expensive but worth it for baby skin care !

Also coconut oil is a natural antibacterial and anti inflammatory!

Fabric softener is really bad for sensitive skin. Best to not use it at all.

highly agree ! Anytime I use any type fabric softener my girl breaks out with bumps.

Lots of recipes on YouTube, Instagram for home made laundry detergent that doesn’t have chemicals !
