From the looks of it, I guess my baby is suffering from prickly heat! This is one of the common condition in which the areas of the skin itch and feel prickly or stinging due to overheating. What more can you expect in a very humid country? I wasn’t at all worried (unless she got fever) except for the fact that she was very uncomfortable. She was very irritable and would cry about everything! Poor Yzzy…. Daddy had to call the doctor to have her checked just in case it was baby measles. Tabby was told to let her intake of liquids be more than average to somehow detoxify and allow her body to absorb much water to regulate the heat and release all those unwanted and “trapped” sweat.

My baby had to be kept in the room with the AC on most of time aside from the periodic trips to the bathroom to get refreshed. It did help a lot to ease the heat and prickling she was feeling. Tabby also bought her a prickly heat powder that made wonders! For about 2 days it was totally gone. I love my Yzzy so much. And I’m happy that she is growing up to be such a strong and healthy baby. I can feel her strength always getting ahead with anything. It makes me feel secured and assured that she will be just fine.
