Switching Formula....a Strange rash...and Baby Dandruff???

I have 2 questions. The first pertains to switching formula. I previously asked about brands and types of formulas to add into my 5 mo old's breastfed diet. I was giving him soy because I thought it might be he easiest to digest and based on all the responses I received, I've decided to switch to Good Start. Am I supposed to switch it gradually(like when switching dog foods??) or can I start the new formula right away? How will I know if he's allergic to dairy? I only give him 2-3 ounces every 24 hrs in addition to his breastmilk. I do this...

Severe Diaper Rash

Moms - I need your help! My son cannot wear Pampers pull-ups and when he does he breaks out into severe diaper rash and it looks awful! I have told his teachers, management, and director at his daycare that under no circumstance should my son ever wear a Pampers pull-ups. He also cannot use Desitin or AD.

I'm unable to get him to the Dr. tomorrow, but plan on taking him on Monday. I feel so bad for...

3 Month Old Teething??

My baby will be 3 months old next Friday. This week he has been kinda drooling and slobbering and a little more fussy than usual. I "think" I feel something coming in his gums but Im not really sure. But what I am worried about is that today he has pooped about five times and his butt is really burned and hes not happy about it! He usually only poops once a day or every other day. So this is ALOT for him. He is eating OK, a little less than usual. He doesnt have a fever. I guess Im wondering could he be teething? I did hear a rumor...
