A. it may be drool rahes, Sometimes drool can lead to a rash around the mouth, To keep drool from getting in contact with baby’s skin, do wipe the drool off often with a soft, gently cloth. Apply a thin coat of a healing ointment like petroleum jelly...don't rub. If the rash is cracked, weepy, or causing your baby pain Consult your paedritician.

A. I have also gone through this but rashes were not in a particular place they were all over the body but not too much one or two if they heal away the next day I found another in the another area of body.I think that this may be due to cold inside the babies.They will come out in the form of rashes.So check for it once.If u doesn't find this problem then it may be due to some skin problem.

A. Keep the baby’s face clean. Once you finish feeding, make sure you wipe the face. Try to wash her face at least twice. This helps in removing the excess milk remains that fall on the face from spit out or during feeding. Do try to stop kissing the baby on the face. This could also lead to problems.

A. Hello dear parent! Maintain a good personal hygiene for your baby. Try applying Babyhug daily massage oil for better skin health. If the problem is severe better consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand. Good luck and take care.
