It could be thrush, quite common in
babies. Or just bad nappy/heat rash.

What kind of diapers are you using?
Trey reacts really badly to huggies. I
thought he'd grown out of it and bought
some the other day and once again it's all
nasty so no more huggies here.
Also boys can get yeast infectoins too,
trey almost had one in his neck last yr in
the fat folds.
Take matthew to the doc and let them tell
you what it could be just in case.
I can't believe he is already 6 weeks old.
How are you holding up with mommyhood?

A little more help Posted: 04-06-08 21:49pm
You may want to try out a simple diaper
rash cream as well, to protect from
irritants and friction. I've had success
in rash prevention with one cream
specifically -- BabyPaste5.0. It has a
really simple formula which it says means
there are no toxins or allergens in it.
It also uses a small amount of vinegar to
keep the cream's pH matched to skin pH.
Supposedly pH imbalances can cause diaper
rash. Anyway, one big reason I use it is
that I can buy it in a small one once push
up container that I keep in my pocket
book.

Well, I was always told to use "Pure
Cornstarch"...the kind you cook with
straight out of the can for diaper rash. A
diaper rash can be little blisters, or
just a red sensitive spot. I always use
"Johnsons Baby Powder, the Pure
Cornstarch" kind, not the actual baby
powder. It helps to prevent a rash. Use it
EVERY diaper change & change him
often.
