formula rash??

Can a baby get a diaper rash due to formula? My baby girl.
(Sophia aka Sophie)
Has a rash. She poops after eating every time and she's gotten one.   :( could it be due to the formula she's on? And would switchin to different kind help? I feel so bad for her.

My bby used to be like that but I think it's the wipes they irritate their skin cuz they're newborn skin is sensitive to the smell. And I change my bby like really often cuz it can be that too and it goes away.. hope ur bbys rash it'll go away fast because that's not comfortable at all.

My son used to get it all the time and he was breasfed. I always use sudocrem it helps it and also prevent it.

It could be the formula or it could be just how her digestive system is. I'd probably check with you pediatrition before switching because it can be hard on their stomachs.

She's just bottle fed. I was thinking it may be the formula cuz in the hospital she didn't poop every time and I was breast feeding at the hospital for the 2 days we were there. But I stopped due to some issues and went to formula

If the formula isn't agreeing with her stomach it could be the cause for having such frequent BMs. Is she's just formula fed or are you breastfeeding too? I ask because breastfeeding can also cause babies to have frequent BMs. Try using something like a&d at every diaper change to put a protective barrier on her skin.

You would be better off asking her Dr about that hun. Ive not heard of babies getting rashes from formula. It could be her diapers though too. I used to use pampers diapers but we switched to huggies after boys kept getting rashes. I would switch diaper brands, wipe brands, or laundry detergent before switching formula though.
