Heat Rash in Babies (Miliaria)
Heat rash occurs when babies are overdressed or during hot weather. Sweat glands become blocked, forming small red bumps — usually on the neck, in skin folds, and on the upper body. Although harmless, they itch and make your baby fussy.

- Light, airy cotton clothing
- Lukewarm bath — NO soap or bath additives
- Let affected areas air dry, no powders or creams
Ne Zaman Doktora Gitmeli?

Yaşa Göre Notlar
Newborns are most susceptible as their sweat glands are still immature. Particularly common in the first year. Well-meaning grandparent advice ('The child is cold!') often leads to overheating. The neck test reveals if your baby is too warm: if the back of the neck feels sweaty and hot, your baby is overheated. Cool hands and feet are NORMAL and not a sign of being cold.
