Mom have an allergic skin rash from the effects of an epidural or does baby have heat rash or a persistent diaper rash? Try this method taught to me by my Chinese mother: Add black tea bags (at least five to baby's bath) to a warm bath and soak. This used to be the only relief I got as a kid from itchy chicken pox and my pesky summer heat rashes. Now it works great when baby or I have an inflammed or itchy skin irritation of any kind. If you rather go western than eastern with your natural rash remedies you can try Aveeno's colloidal oatmeal in your bath, available at your local drug store.
worked like a charm. thnx.
