Any solution for a drool rash? PIP

[TrudyCampbell]

Or what I think is a drool rash? Hard to see but it's all around her mouth. It could also be a reaction to one of the solids she has eaten, but she's had this rash a week or more. I normally wouldn't care, but our photos are on Saturday!

I keep putting Vaseline on it. Good/bad idea?

No help. No idea. I just hopped in this thread to see a squishy Ruby face and you didn't disappoint.

I have no advice but man, her eyes are unreal!

Vaseline is great and a thin layer should protect her skin.

Beware of Aquaphor, because it contains lanolin which could dry out her skin.

C has gotten that a bit lately as well. I think that I figured that I was wiping her face too hard after meals. ( Whoops/ she's just such a mess it's hard not too!). Could that be it?
I'm just using a softer cloth for cleaning then a light lotion after bath in the evenings.

I alternate between Vaseline and Aveeno baby. I hope it clears up soon!

I would just keep using the Vaseline, it should help. And I'd pat dry after meals, bath, etc instead of wiping so it doesn't get irritated any further.

Oliver has the same rash. I would just ask the photographer to photoshop it out. He/she probably would anyway. I used some aveeno and it has gotten better.

Yea, I figure she will retouch it anyway, but it's worth a shot to get rid of it.

I didn't have any aquaphor the other day so I used nipple cream definitely helped

I always just dried the area and used my nursing cream for rashes on the face/neck area. I felt safer with that on their face, since the kids always touched it and then put their hands in their mouth.

HI beautiful eyes!

I use Aquaphor and diaper rash cream on the cheeks.I find the diaper rash cream works bes,t but I've never tried it that close to the mouth. I would try the nursing cream some of the other ladies mentioned.

[TrudyCampbell]

Nursing cream is a great idea! I thought about using A&D ointment but I was afraid of her eating it.

[Beener]

Luke has one too. I feel so bad for him. No advice, but will be trying those suggestions in this thread!

[skiesthelimit]

I stick coconut oil on everything. That way I'm not worried about them eating it. I've also used nipple cream.

Us too. Keep as dry as possible, and keep up with the aquaphor.  Love me some squishy Ruby!!!!
