What is causing my 3week old a facial rash?

My 3 week old has formed a rash on his little face.I am using Similac Advanced formula (milk based) . I haved tried using Isomil Formula (soy based) . Would this formula work better ? Also, Is it okay to give my baby a sugar free juice once a day?What is causing my 3week old a facial rash?
The rash is normal, there is a name for it. Contact your Pediatrician


just to make sure. Do not give your child any kind of juice just yet. A water bottle will be just find. If you didn't get one @ your baby shower, purchase a book that's from birth to 24 months it will be a great help


answering your questions.What is causing my 3week old a facial rash?
NO JUICE! The baby is too young for anything except formula or breast milk, unless of course the pediatrician give special instructions. Don't hop around formulas, it can cause digestive upsets if you do it too much. My daughter had a rash going on for a while... she had multiple protein allergies diagnosed at 4 weeks, but she continued the rash for a few weeks after we put her on special formula. Could just be baby pimpled or eczema. Sometimes, she drools on herself in her sleep and it leaves a little rash. Putting a tiny bit of petroleum jelly around the rash before bedtime can help create a barrier against outside irritants like spit-up and drool.
Your baby could be lactose intolerant. I know when my brother was 3 weeks old, he got a really bad rash on his face, and it was due to the formula that we were giving him. He was also on Similac Advanced. The doctor told us to switch his formula to a lactose free based, and since then he's been doing great on formula. He's 7 months now.





This is the formula that we had to switch him too.

Do not give your baby sugar free juice yet. He doesn't need it! Does your significant other or someone who has been holding him a lot have a beard? That happened to our daughter, my husband's beard was irritating her skin. Talk to your pediatrician, ASAP about formula questions and feeding questions. Your baby should ONLY be on formula or breastmilk right now....NOTHING else UNLESS prescribed by your doctor!!!
It sounds like it could be a food allergy rash called eczema.


It's probably an allergy to milk because that is very common, and another common allergy that a lot of people don't even know is soy.


Maybe try another type that isn't soy or milk?





You should also go to a doctor to check for sure
Only a doctor can tell you what is causing the rash. Call tomorrow.





No it's not ok to give a 3 week old baby juice. All he/she needs is formula. Juice is not good for them when they are this young.
It could be the formula alone. Are you wiping your baby's face after each feeding? The moisture + heat could be causing a breakout. No, no juice at this age.
could be baby ache..but it wouldn't hurt to take him/her to the doc to make sure. as for the juice i would also ask the pediatrician
At 3 weeks old your baby is WAY to young for anything but formula. Are you sure the rash isn't infant acne? or maybe a heat rash?
