Honestly, I think I'm being really paranoid. But I'll feel better if I ask anyways. Because I'm a first time mom and my first instinct is to sit up all night watching my baby breath lol.
So LO has a rash. She did not have any rash at all as of 2pm when I took her outfit off to feed her avocado (which she has had 6+ times before). Afterwards we wiped her down and got her dressed. When I undressed her for bed time she had a splotchy red rash. It's not hot, not really raised. No fever, no facial swelling or rash. No breathing issues. It's really just on her back and her belly. Not chest or limbs or diaper area.
So I wiped her down with a warm wash cloth and put aquafor(sp?) all over it and put her to bed. She fell asleep fine.
My best guess: my MIL is staying with us and after I put LO down we were debating what the cause could be because we haven't put any new clothes on her or used new detergent or gave her new foods today (nor did I eat anything unusual that I might have had on my hands and transferred to her). In having that discussion my MIL mentioned she had put on lavender hand lotion at Trader Joes this morning when we were there about 11am, and she picked LO up out of her highchair when she was done eating and shirtless. I'm allergic to basically all fragrance so LO may be too.. wondering if she's having a bit of a contact allergy to that?
I feel like given the above we're safe to wait until morning, see how she is, and then call the doc office if it seems worse. But my paranoid first time mom is making me feel like I should sit next to her crib and listen to her breath all night long...
