Allergic Reations


So for a few months Jude has had a reoccurring light rash. After many failed attempts to change his soap and other possible irritants I think I have it narrowed down.

Yesterday I applied California Baby Super Sensitive Lotion to his back and only a few hours later he had an angry red rash all over his back and on a thumb print sized spots on his stomach. Who would have thought that a Super Sensitive Lotion would cause such havoc. I think the culprit might be coconut. Coconut allergies are very rare so it is possible there is some other irritant. So last night I gave Jude a bath and didn’t use any soap or lotion and his rash is almost gone this morning.

What to do?
