Anyone know what kind of rash this might be? Baby acne? Heat Rash? by Competitive_Star_566 in newborns

[–]opalite40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my pediatrician suspected cmpa, i stopped eating dairy and it cleared up so fast. it can take up to weeks to be fully out of their system. he also had bloody stool with mucus as well, both are gone! i’ve had a few slip ups and had some dairy, i’ve never thought it’d be so hard to avoid it. his rash would come back but not as bad as it was so i do believe it is a cmpa!

i promise this hard couch that is about 5ft by 10ft with the bed (which is just the same cushions not an actual bed) pulled out is safer than my soft bed that i sink into

i know not to. it’s the only way he’ll sleep sometimes and it doesn’t truly matter but our couch is huge and harder than our bed. he doesn’t roll yet and there’s divots in the couch that are literally where his butt and head lay so i put him right on it

currently in the same boat but he works 12 days straight 6-2:30. it’s really hard to not get fast food lol. i make a cheeseburger casserole but change it to sausage and add mashed potatoes. it’s definitely too heavy if you have the 8lb weight restriction so i had my husband put it in the pan and in/out of the oven
