My daughter had what I suspected to be an allergic reaction about a week ago. Started out as slight irritation on her back that I thought was just a heat rash from sleeping in a warm sleeper. Eventually it spread to her tummy, neck, and face. It never got to her arms or legs. She was warm, but no fever, and just uncomfortable and fussy.

I took her in to the clinic and he confirmed it was an allergic reaction. This is the part I didn’t know! Apparently , if you think your baby has hives from a reaction, put your fingers on both sides of an irritation and pull the skin apart. If it turns white or disappears , it’s a reaction!

We went home and had Tylenol, and an oatmeal bath. I loved that part as I got in the bath with her and nursed her, while my husband poured the cool oatmeal water over her poor irritated skin. It was the first time she was content all day. 🥰

Just thought I’d share my experience!

It got worse than in these photos, but you get the idea
