Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply on and off list. I have shared 
the questions and information with the midwife and her client. Most likely it is 
a food sensitivity.

Small, frequent stools can be a sign of food sensitivities - are these
small?  That coupled with the diaper rash make me think along those lines.
Any other allergic symptoms? Any known food sensitivities?  Eczema?
Frequent night-waking? Reflux? Cradle cap? Baby acne?

Did mom or baby have antibiotics at the time of birth, or either one since?
