As a first time mom, I panicked over everything. I’m not kidding when I say that I had her pediatrician’s number on speed dial.

Upon scheduling the appointment, I watched as her poor skin flared up and thought maybe her diapers were bothering her, seeing as the most severe spot, where the rash had started was her legs and her…
