My baby is teething and he is drooling a lot. That is causing him to have some rashes around his mouth - little bumps and also a bigger red patch where he tends to have his hand in contact with as he sucks his fingers. Will it help if I smear some breastmilk on the rashes? Any other advice on home remedies that might help? Thanks!

Hi breastmilk may help but the best remedy is to keep wiping their hands and face with warm towel. How about giving him a teether so that he doesn't suck on the hands so much? It is common for babies to have the occasion bumps and rash. If it gets too serious and the rash is not healing you may want to get rash cream from the PD.
