A. For rashes and changes in your baby's bowel movements, here’s what to consider: Rash: 1. Common Types: Diaper Rash: Usually red, irritated skin in the diaper area. Can be treated with barrier creams. Heat Rash: Small red bumps in skin folds, often from overheating. Eczema: Dry, itchy patches on the skin that may appear red or scaly. 2. When to Seek Help: If the rash is persistent, spreading, or accompanied by fever or other symptoms, consult a pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Bowel Movements: 1. Normal Variability: It’s common for babies to have varying bowel movement frequencies. As babies grow, especially when starting solids, their poop patterns may change. 2. Signs to Monitor: Watch for signs of constipation (hard, dry stools), discomfort during bowel movements, or significant changes in appetite or behavior. When to Consult a Pediatrician: If the rash does not improve with basic care, or if you notice any concerning changes in your baby’s overall health or bowel habits, it’s best to consult your pediatrician for advice and evaluation.
