Since Noah's birth, he's been through jaundice, thrush, yeast infection after yeast infection, and countless fevers. What could possibly be next? How about a rash ALL OVER his body?
I took him to the doctor today. Turns out Noah has developed sensitive skin overnight ... literally. We put him to bed his usual soft skin self and he wakes up like the above. We don't know exactly what caused it. The doctor said to start eliminating fragrances from soaps, detergents and wipes. He also gave me some lotion samples to try (if it works, it's $7 for a small bottle - yikes) and to apply hydrocortisone twice a day for the next two weeks. Hopefully, he'll clear up soon.
Some good news...
At Noah's one-year check-up, he was given the "go ahead" to try anything and everything edible. (Yes, I asked the doctor if he thought this rash could be food related. He's pretty sure it's sensitive skin.) He's tried Spaghetti O's, and Apple Sauce (didn't care for it too much when we tried it before). We've tried apple juice and today ... orange juice! How did he like it?
Not a big OJ fan. That's okay. It's just the first of hopefully not too many things he'll decide he doesn't like.
