Anyone had something similar on their LO’s tummy / back? I have always suspected CMPA and been fobbed off by doctors. He’s been on Comfort milk (which has reduced lactose) and has recently weaned onto normal formula (SMA) - no change to his poos which is positive as last time I tried this he became constipated, but this time we have come out in this rash which is raised and bumpy along with him being a bit congested… will be calling doctors in the morning but just wondered if anyone recognised what it might be / had something similar!!

Hey, my son is just coming out of having this. I went to the GP and she just said it was a viral rash. This was Wednesday and today it looks loads better. He was sick yesterday, but I don’t know if that’s related. My GP told me to look out for
- fever
- baby drinking less, with feeds reduced by more than 50%
- no wee in 6 hours
Hope this helps xx

My LB had this as a newborn & I was also told a viral rash & to use a moisturiser wuth emollient in. We used the Aveeno one & it cleared up in a day but also watch for other signs & get it checked if you are worried x
