Baby Acne & Allergies

What type of soap/shampoo do you use on her?

We started out with Johnson's baby wash, which says it's
hypoallergenic, but is scented. She got two baths with one
of the lavender baby washes, which makes her smell really
nice, but seemed to make her spottier. So we switched to
California Baby's Sensitive Skin wash, which is completely
unscented. No improvement.

I just wanted to comment on this; Jess was allergic to just about every baby
shampoo/soap, and Johnson's was by far the worst. I tried using it on her
again recently, and while it didn't give her a rash, her hair looked
straggly after using it for 3 days! The *only* cleanser that didn't bother
her baby skin was Eucerin cleanser for sensitive skin. You can find it with
the regular grown-up creams, next to Eucerin cream. It was really great. I
even tried cetaphil, which didn't work for her. No nice baby smell with the
Eucerin, though.

Is there anything that you've recently eaten that you didn't before?

Nothing I can identify that I've eaten more than once, and
if it was a one-time thing, I'd think she'd have stopped
reacting.
