What does it look like, where does it appear and how do you treat it ? Adam has a very faint rash on his tummy and back(have done glass test), is cranky as hell and waking in the night.

keep him cool, plenty of fluids. Heat rash is like a blotchy red rash well my experience if it is. I dont think you can treat it but put him in cool cotton clothing nothing that clings to him or he will sweat more. Im sure it will fade quickly. As for night time try keeping his room cool with fans etc and dont put lots of layers on him xxx

You can't treat heat rash, it looks nasty, but as Chris said just keep him cool at all times. It will go eventually! When Fred was a baby, he had it for about a week before I realised what it was, bless him, so far so good, this time round, but he does feel warm! I have a fan in his room aimed directly at the cot, and he woke up cold in the night for the first time!

Ollie has it too, he's covered, it tends to come and go looks worse sometimes, normally when he has just woken up. You used to be able to get special talcum powder for it not sure if they make it anymore, it was called prickly heat powder and johnson and johnson made it.
