Have you gone to the doctors? Is she Allergic to anything? Have you changed your laundry detergent recently?

We use Deft currently for laundry. I’m trying to determine what I ate cause she’s in Breast milk

Is it a reaction of eczema? I’d check with your dr first. But sometimes I find a nice warm bath followed by a thick coat of aquaphor helps. Careful with aveeno stuff though if your little one has sensitivity to colloidal oat.

Hi momma, I was at the same situation with my baby until almost she was 6 months old. The solution: I washed her with nice warm water and flakes of oat (like a full big cup of oat every time) for 3 days in a row. After the bath I covered her whole body in Cetaphil lotion (the moisturizer one with green label). We have never had any issues with her skin going itchy or dry at all after that. I found out that NB lotions didn’t work for us, that’s why we used the cetaphil one instead as per pediatrician recommendation. We still use the same body lotion for her, EVERYDAY. It might worth to try. I hope you guys thrive, you’ve got this!

We can’t use aveeno because it causes some sort of reaction. Makes my LGs skin redish. Try doing breastmilk baths and getting cetaphil fragrance free unscented lotion since it has nothing in it except moisture for baby. Breastmilk baths will help amazingly for relief. Basically keeps my girls diaper rash gone by doing them every other day. Just add a few ounces to the bath. I aim for 3-4 oz added with the small stand alone bath we use since we only have a shower

Thank you mamas, I will try the bath and Cetaphil. Fingers crossed.
