Toady skin on my notsobeautiful baby!

My 6 week old ds has developed some kind of rash. He's got the milk spots which I know are normal but he's got this other rash which goes from his cheeks, over his ears, behind his neck and down to his chest. On his face there are small lumps under the skin. My HV looked and said it was normal, something about my hormones, etc. HTought it might be heat rash. When he's pushing out a poo and goes red all the spots are much more visible. What the bleeding hell is it? It doesn't seem to be bothering him....?

All six week old babies are afflicted by hideous medieval style rashes. And thick crusty cradle cap too.
They appear the minute you feel bright enough to want to take the baby out to show them off to your friends and neighbours, and at precisely the moment you contemplate maybe getting some photos taken.

God, he looks rough. Looks like he's been out on the lash for the entire weekend and taken loads of drugs.

It's a test of your sanity. If you feel he is still spectacularly lovely despite the rash, you are clearly being driven utterly bonkers by motherhood. Fortunately for you, you've passed.

is it eczema maybe?

He's being all cute now and making kitten type noises in his sleep. So he's forgiven. So, I shouldn't put Oxy10 on it? .
