I am so stressed out, My 7 week old has wokenbup with this, what is this? She’s exclusively breastfed so cannot be a formula allergy.

It looks like just some baby acne/skin irritation. Mine gets the same thing on her chest, arms, and face. It goes away in a couple days! The pediatrician gave me some baby Eucerin and that helps a ton!

my girl had this, like hannah said it looks just like baby acne
i gave my girl a breastmilk bath and it cleared up

Can’t comment on the rash other than to do the glass test. But just to add that breastfed babies can have allergies through breastmilk if mum consumes allergens like dairy x

Mine used to have similar every now & again and it was a heat rash(usually summer months), it would disappear in a couple of days. Is the room she's in too hot? Is she wearing too many layers?Have you done the glass test too?

I used to leave mine in a baby grow or just nappy & monitor the room temperature. With
both my little ones, it was heat rash & looked just like your picture. Do you have anything like 111 NHS helpline to check symptoms? Mine were well within themselves (no fever, feeding well, normal pee/poo, active etc) is your little one well otherwise apart from rash?

Cleared up usually in 1 or 2 days

Have you used a different body wash for her / clothes wash or anything like that xx

Baby acne

She may have cmpa. My daughter had the same exact thing. Giving your breastfeeding you have to cut out dairy products

Like many others have said this looks harmless to me but always follow up with pediatrician with any concerns! Mind temperature and switch out care products/manage diet since you're EBF to see if there are any changes if it's not a temp issue.

Looks like eczema. My son had it too
We found our baby is a baby girl this weekend.. I have been convinced she was a girl the entire pregnancy so it wasn’t a shock at all but just hearing it officially… of course I love her and I’m not evil, it’s just a lot to adjust and I am feeling really stressed and a bit sad really. I feel guilty that I’m not as excited as I should be and currently don’t want people to know because I’m not ready to be super happy about it yet.
I have always pictured my life with a son one day and, for very personal reasons and life experiences, I feel a lot of stress when thinking about protecting and raising a baby girl in this world which I’m sure people can relate…
I am worried about protecting her, I am worried about not feeling the same bond from her as a son, amongst a multitude of other things. I am not feeling excited to buy frilly dresses or go to dance classes and I know it will all settle and logically I won’t imagine life without her and I do love her, it’s just overwhelming me..
Any advice… 🌸

I’m looking for recommendations on a baby sling instead of a carrier or wrap, I’ve got both which my baby loves especially when it comes to nap time but it’s a mission getting on and off and she is getting heavier. I just want something quick and easy and didn’t know these even existed! She will be 2 months so not much neck control yet but is 12lbs 14oz, so conscious it needs to be decent for proper support.
Any mums have a sling that they’ve used from this age by any chance that they’ve loved?

Guys I’m struggling! I know all babies develop at different rates but should I be concerned? My boy is 15 months and is some ways he’s smashing it and in other ways he seems very behind! He can count to 10, started doing his abcs and can say alot of words, but he can’t say mama and Dosent use dada meaningfully, he can’t clap or wave but can walk, point and has started feeding himself, he can tell me
What noises alot of animals make and what they are but he 9 times out of 10 dosent answer to his name, but he will bring me books and toys and sit and read and play with me and struggles ALOT with food, it’s a struggle to get food in him most days but other days! At what point should I be worried!

When should I get worried that my son is showing little interest in crawling? He’s 8 months old? He’s great and sitting and has just started spinning when he sits but will refuse to go on his tummy.

Adding to all this penis talk lol
Don’t ask me how this came up but my husband was sharing his crazy patient surgery stories and randomly tells me about “the biggest penis he’s ever seen”. Reasonably I burst out laughing because those are words I never expected him to ever say 😅.
Anyways he goes on to tell me how before the surgery he meets with this patient, who goes on to tell him about STI’s and STD’s gotten due to his extensive sexual history.
My husband says when he was on the table it all clicked and he understood why this guy had so many girlfriends 😂🤣 he compared it to a footlong and is very clinical in general so I truly believe him.
All this to say I’m flabbergasted a penis that big even exists and I now need to know if anyone has had large penis run-ins with past partners?!
