I found the shampoo/body wash last night and tried it, it's nice, but the smell isn't as great as the Johnson's wash or shampoo, he doesn't have that yummy baby smell to him but if it helps his rash I'm happy

be careful with the creams that the docs script for the babies, sometimes they dont tell you that you cant put it on a lot or for a long period of time. My daughter has always had what we call KP or "chicken skin" which is just karatosis - something or other but it is something that people have and cant get rid of, the Vit D in the sun helps, anywyay, they gave her cream for it when she was little and told me to be careful with it cuz using it a lot daily or for a long period of time can "thin the skin" and if you use it for too long you can actually "see thru the skin"!!! Crazy hey??? Ask the doc or the pharmacist about it if you think about it to see if thats the cream the doc gave you.

Sarah,

Try spreading Corn Starch on his body, that always helps with heat rash or diaper rashes. Hope he feels better!

okay this stuff is hard to find. I went to 3 cvs's, 3 walgreens and finally found it at Whole Foods Market. But they are back ordered on the shampoo/body wash so all I got was the dusting powder. I dont want to use lotion on him just yet with him still having the heat rash, so I didn't buy that yet. I may go to another Whole Foods around here to see if they have the shampoo/body wash.

Fran, get a jump on that heat rash, my doc suggested a cool bath or cool cloth applied a few times a day, pat dry, use either reg baby powder or reg cornstarch to rub on the heat rash 3x a day, dress in light clothes pref. cotton. Cam's is just now starting to improve after 7 days.

yeah the doc said to put 1% hydrocortisone cream on it so we will see! What a weird place for a rash!

Great info guys...Caden has such sensitive skin. So I may be switching too! He now has some infant acne, a bad case of dermititis on his ear lobe (weird) and some heat rash!! What a mess! LOL!

Will you use the powder only after baths or on her diaper area?

Heat Rash question for Mommies :)

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:37:21 -0500

Cam has had a heat rash since last Thursday, I brought him in to the pediatrician who confirmed that and said to just let it be and apply cool wash cloth to it a few times a day and no lotions. Our home is air conditioned so he hasn't been out in the heat but now the rash is everywhere, his neck, tummy,back, arms, legs, diaper area. Any advice or suggestions on how to get rid of it? I did give him an oatmeal bath last night and haven't seen a difference today.
