Is this serious?
My baby girl is 4 weeks old tomorrow. Was changing her nappy and saw this rash on her chest and face. And a little on her legs. Anyone know what this is? I got told to ring 111 and I’m waiting to hear from doctor but I’m worried and looking for reassurance. Anyone else’s baby has this?

Do the glass test to make yourself feel better.
Babies get loooooads of rashes. She could have been a little too warm and that’s why, could be reacting to the detergent you are using if you changed it or she could have a milk allergy for example. The possibilities are endless, so as long as they come away doing the glass test, do not worry.
I stretched the skin and the rash went away when I did. Is that the same as the glass test? Xx
I don’t know what kind of rash it is. And was looking if anyone else did that’s all
Try not to patronise 🙄
yeh I usually press the skin around and if it goes then I’m happy. I rarely actually get a glass but might have maybe twice in almost 4 years. Remember that, it really helps me when I start freaking out 😅
Do you breastfeed? If you do, get some milk on it it’ll be gone in no time. If not try to only use natural products on her skin like coconut oil or something!!
ok that’s lovely. Thank you so much xxx
She’s probably a little too warm!
