Baby is 9 months.
Had it for a couple of days.
No temperature, but is crabby.
Nappies are mucousy and yellow/green. He is bf.
Top teeth are through & descending. No allergies in the family. Spots are no where else on him.
?
(He isn't unwell so don't want to take him to the Drs)

Slapped cheek possibly. They can spike a temperature with that, or be totally well in themselves. The rash sometimes spreads down the body.
Or just a virus rash as another option.

In case it's slapped cheek keep him away from any pregnant ladies.

Could it just be teething? Ds gets red rash on his cheeks when teething and funny poos.

Could be pudsey. I've just never seen this on teething babies before.

It's no better today, he is ok in himself so will see the hv next week I think.

I think German measles has a rash on the head too. My ds had it when he was a few months old and the OOH dr diagnosed it over the phone.
