Does Giving Gripe Water Cause Rashes In An Infant?

Can a one month old baby develop a rash from the little remedies gripe water? My grandson seems to have a rash everywhere, even the face but idk if its from that or the Johnson's baby wash my daughter is using on him. Confused and upset because the gripe water has calmed my grandson down a great deal.

Hello
Thanks for writing to us.

Gripe can cause skin rashes in infants. As it contains chamomile in it and chamomile is allergic to some infants. they are not able to digest it.

Best way of getting rid of the rashes is , stop giving your grandchild gripe water.

I hope i have solved your query. Still if you feel like asking anything then please write us back.

Thanks
