Prickly heat

Linus was having prickly heat (heat rash) on his face, chest and behind the neck in last few days. It is a common baby skin problem which caused by the blockage of sweat gland.

We then cleaned the affected areas by Avene spring water and applied a thin layer of aloe vera on face, and Johnson baby powder on his body where tiny red bumps appeared. The problem was solved within hours.

To prevent its reappearance, we then tried to keep his skin dry and cool. Now is 5:36am, he slept sweetly next to me after the feeding, with no irritation caused by the prickly heat. =)
