What type of soap does she use? To start with...

helovesme:


I think it's best to start with the root cause of the rashes as it's the rashes that leads to the spots. Once you deal with the root cause, then you can be sure that the rashes won't reappear again. It's pointless worrying about/treating the spots if she keeps getting the rashes.

1)Do you use disinfectant with her bath water? If yes, what brand?
2)What soap do you use in bathing her?
3)Have you changed her bath sponge recently? She might be due for a new sponge.
4)What cream/lotion do you use on her skin?
5)What part of her body can you find the rashes? Her face or all over?
6)what detergent do you use in washing her clothes?
7)Finally, if you do not mind, can you take a picture of the rash/spots and post it here? It might actually be heat rash or a rash that needs to be treated with mild ointments like baby tribotan.

1) replace her bath sponge.

2)nycil cream I believe has anti bacterial properties. Using that with tetmosol (which also has anti bacterial properties) and dettol in her bath water - I think its all too much for her skin.

Replace nycil with original cold pressed coconut oil. Replace tetmosol with any bath soap for sensitive skin. (Dove sensitive soap, Sanex is another brand (see attached pictures). You can continue with dettol in her bath water

3) try another detergent. Make sure you rinse her clothes thoroughly in water diluted with dettol.

4) post a picture when you can.

ajuwarhodes:

thanks dear. i will do just these.
Maybe its time u change her sponge
Pls put dettol in the rinsing water
Perhaps u change the soap too,some mamas her have used sebamed and got good result,I bought but haven't used since the one am using isn't finished,am using chicco and getting fantastic result.though I use dettol in the rinsing water,and pls get her clothes off the drying hanger before 6pm ...

I also put confor in Ds cupboard.

hotmomma:
Ladyprecy, in addition to what mamas have said, before using sponge to bath ur baby, rinse the sponge in disinfected water first, also isn't that detergent too harsh? Just thinking aloud, could you try using joy or lux soap to wash your baby's cloths.

Nothing wrong with your addiction as long as you are being "smart" about all your purchases.

'Smart' means buying dresses beyond her age especially when you find them on sale/rock bottom prices and keeping them till when she's much older and she can fit nicely into them.

I also do a lot of baby clothes shopping. Right now, I have clothes nicely folded away a for ages 2-3 years which I found at bargain prices while checking online/various stores.

If I find certain shoes or clothes that I really like, I buy and keep because some retailers are known for not repeating a design. Once they sell out, that's it. They come up with another style.

I tend to do a clear out every 3-4 months. I sort out, fold and store away clothes/shoes that my son no longer fits into and I bring out new clothes which I bought monthsssssss back as he's now old enough to wear them. This means there very little or no clutter and I do not have clothes he's outgrown lying around.

Trying to but its not easy

1. Dark spots wont clear
2. Skin wont re-awaken
3. Stomach fat wont go down n bfeeding hunger is not helping
4. Weight sef is piling up
5. Worse still cloths wont fit

My mon says for some, everything returns to normal after bossom feeding. And for someone like me who plans on feeding 4 9 months to 1 year... hmmmm

zaynie:




Well, there really is no magic formula.
What brought about the spots? If that factor is removed, there is a high chance that he spots will fade.
The rashes, might be due to heat, water, cream, soap or allergy to a specific food. Find out which it is.
Many mamas here swear by Dove Pure and Sensitive bar soap for clearing rashes, you can give it a try.
