We noticed that Amelia got a heat rash when we visited family in Missouri at the beginning of the summer {we don't generally experience that kind of heat or humidity in the Pacific Northwest} but didn't think too much about it once we got home to our more mild climate.
However, now that the weather is getting cooler at night we've begun putting her in warmer jammies and turning the heater on {I like the house at 70 degrees year round}. We noticed a bit of heat rash yesterday {around her neck and behind her ears where she sweats} then today after a nap on my chest in her footie pajamas she's got it on her chest/tummy and back where she was warmest. Poor thing. It looks uncomfortable but she doesn't seem to notice in the least. For now she's naked to cool off and I'll be giving her a tepid bath with baking soda to help any itching that she might have {though that doesn't seem to be the case right now}.
