health question...

Get another doctors opinion. Sometimes it takes three or four to get the right answers. First find a really good doctor.

Sounds wrong.

Bath water won't give the baby a rash. Sounds like bugs or something.

Where are you? If you are near Santago, go see Robinson Abreu at the Clinica Corominas....

Get some Calamine lotion and put it on the baby. Check for small spiders around the crib, or tiny ants that might feed on the dribble after feeding.

.HB Been there, done that.

To add to the Hillbilly's comments - how old is the baby? Direct sunlight can also cause these little blisters on skin that has never been exposed to strong sun. Go see a good Doctor.

I seriously doubt that it's the water. Other more likely possibilities are allergic reactions to a new bath soap, laundry detergent, plants, animals, foods or bug bites.

I think HM is right. During the first year I was here, periodically I got a huge blister on my ankle. Looked like a bug bite or spot of poison ivy gone wild.

The dermatologist told me that it was common for people new to the country to get a strong reaction to something new to their system.

After that first year, I never had another problem with the blister on the ankle, even though my life didn't change. I think what happened was that my body built up a resistence to whatever it was that caused the problem.

This would also help explain why your husband isn't bothered but you and the children are. Even though he has lived for many years in the US, he probably has some acquired or inherited immunity.
