What Causes Diaper Rashes After Introducing Whole Milk To Baby?
I just introduced my 1 year old to whole milk. He has been exclusively breastfeed. He continues to breast feed, but I introduced him to Lowfat milk about a month ago. I recenlty proceeded with Whole Milk. But he frequently gets diaper rash. Could this be from the Whole Milk? Is the breastmilk & whole milk possibly too much (too rich?).

hi, the diaper rash he is not due to milk. Diaper rash occurs because of frequent stools which are not cleaned on time. Sometimes there is acidic stools with results in frequent Rash in diaper area. In some cases, children who have allergy to cow milk has diaper rash more because of the increased frequency of stools. Zinc oxide cream should be applied 3 times for 5 to 6 days. I hope this will help you. Take care.
