Does anyone know what this could be? My baby is 4mo and is breastfed. This red area is very sandpaper like to the touch. It originally started off with no redness and she had several patches on her legs/hands. This made me believe it was eczema. However, this area on her chest is the only one that turned very red. It only seemed to get irritated about two or three weeks ago. We have been using the same detergent since she was a newborn and can’t think of anything new that was introduced. I had brought her to the pediatrician because I was concerned however, I was told it was just a dry skin patch (which I don’t believe). Just a few days ago she did have hives all over her stomach.

Hi everyone. I was breastfeeding my 4mo baby until about 2 weeks ago. I was pumping and producing about 30oz a day from the very beginning. When I went to a baby group with a lactation consultant, I was told I was pumping too much- enough for twins. I stupidly listened and stopped pumping as much and feel like I am barely producing enough milk. I used to get 8-10 oz a pump and now I’m only getting 2-4oz.

My baby decided she no longer wants to feed off the breast and only wants bottles. She is still using a 0+ evenflo nipple so I don’t think that is the issue. The bottle nipple flow has not changed. I think I’m not engorged anymore and she doesn’t like the slow slow flow. What can I do? This makes me so sad😭
