Fear my infant daughter might be developing allergies to the dogs...help

I think you're experiencing a case of the "New Mommy Worries". Don't worry - I think all new moms have been there to some degree, and it will pass with no lasting side effects.

Relax!!!

Have you considered that it might be a heat rash? We went through the same thing with our first born until the lady next door took a look at him and noticed how bundled up he was while the temperature in the house was also too hot. After taking off all the covers he was fine in a few days.

Sadly one of my biggest fears is my child developing allergies to dogs, I can't imagine living in a home without dogs in it. (Though I would if it was in the best interest of my daughter)

but I suspect you are right

My neice had this as a baby... they used Aquaphor on her cheeks and it eventually cleared up. She's 2 now and no sign of it! =)

My son has some of the most sensitive skin of any one I know! Heat, grass, sand, too much wind, etc. He has NO allergies to anything...but, he is super sensitive to things. I do use aquafor...but, at that age, it was only on his bottom. I don't think I would put anything on those other 'cheeks' yet, LOL.

Don't get your knickers in a twist over things that haven't actually happened (and may not) - you have enough to contend with as it is without the "what ifs" and "maybes"
