Can
changing brands of formula cause diaper rash?
Q: Can changing
brands of formula cause diaper rash?
A: Yes, changing formula can cause diaper rash. If it's a really bad
rash, I would also consider whether yeast might have gotten in the
rash. Almost all diaper rashes that have gone on for two weeks have
become complicated by a yeast infection, and may not clear up without
treating the yeast.
The switch from
one formula to another might cause a brief diaper rash but wouldn't
be expected to cause anything prolonged. A switch from soy to cow's
milk formula or vice versa might. Lotrimin is a good over-the-counter
cream for a yeast diaper rash. A diaper rash that doesn't clear up
after being treated for yeast should be checked by your physician.
