for Britta, about the rash

[Guest guest]

My daughter Eleanor, 10 months has a rash on her face that comes and

goes too. It's little red bumps, and they mostly occur around the

mouth and chin, and around her eyes. Eleanor was on Pulmozyme for a

short time at about 2-3months of age, but the rash has persisted.

My mom's theory is that it is possibly enzymes that have spent too

long in her mouth and dissolved a bit, making her saliva an irritant.

I am starting to think she is right.

If Eleanor's rash sounds anything like your baby's, try giving

several bites of applesauce or whatever AFTER you've given enzymes,

but before you give the bottle, cup or whatever to make sure every

last one of the pellets goes down. That way if she slobbers a bit,

or rubs her eyes, it won't irritate her skin. I am still not sure

this is the cause, but since I started doing this is seems to have

gotten alot better.

Something to try, anyway...
