Would you say this is allergy or baby acne

Ooo I dunno, could you update us with what the doctor says? Would be good to know.

I'd say it's most likey an allergy rash especially with the other symptoms also

Also ones on baby's back I'm the last photo look like possible hives

I agree with Emma-Louise. Because of the other symptoms he has it sounds like it could be CMPA so I would definitely book a GP appointment x

It does sound like it, especially pooing after every single feed. Has that nappy got any mucus in it? If there is mucus in it then yes I’d say it’s a CMPA as yellow poo is normal for newborns x

@Julia it's very like greasy.. I would say there is mucus but don't know if that's just runny?!

@Robyn Make your little one a doctors appointment just to be on the safe side. If it was mucusy there would be stringy bits in it x

@Robyn that's mucus So it's stringy like egg whites

That looks like he may be allergic to milk if your breastfeeding and eating diary cut it out. It takes a week or two to completely come out. All 3 of my kids had it. That's what their poo looked like too. You may see blood streaks at some point too.

@Robyn That’s what my 4 month old’s poo looks like. We haven’t introduced food yet.

This was exactly what my little boy had an he has been diagnosed with milk allergy. The Drs kept telling us it was baby acne but we knew it wasn’t and just had to keep on at them and they finally referred us to dietician xx

@Courtney interesting so many mixed reviews. I will book an appointment an see what happens. How was your little one acting was he sleeping? Have any other symptoms x

@Robyn he was so, so unsettled. He wasn’t sleeping properly, was inconsolable so much, constantly being sick and upset after feeds xx
