Hi There:
Itchy bumps can often be a sign of an internal yeast infection or "gut dysbiosis" in an infant.
Are her stools normal? Frequent? Does she seem gassy?
If I were in your shoes and nursing I would begin taking a good probiotic (the good bacteria that populates your digestive tract). You can find these in health food stores. Some are even designed for infants. Infants need the bifida strain in particular.
I would also take a look at what laundry detergents you are using and stay away from things that have perfumes or scents.
I would also take a look at what baby shampoos and body washes you are using. Soemtimes the MORE frequently you was a baby the worse the skin can respond. Babies that age really dont need too much. Many of the body washes are full of chemicals you dont want your baby to be exposed to (including the popular ones like Johnson and Johnsons). Visit www.cosmeticsdatabase.com and plug in whatever you are using.
It has been very hot around here lately so there is a possiblity that it is straightforward heat rash.
The baby could also be responding to something you are eating if you are nursing (wheat and dairy being common culprists - many moms cant eat them or eat them at first when they are nursing)
Last but not least...make sure the rash did not occur after a round of vaccines b/c in that case it could be part of a vaccine reaction/viral issue.
I hope this gives you some information to troubleshoot with.
Good luck!
