I spoke to a client recently whose baby had a very bad rash that I saw
when he was two or three months old. She tried everything changing
detergent etc. After many tests she found the baby had a zinc
deficiency. I didn't know it was the same baby when mom brought him
into my WIC class when he was seven months old. She and the breastfed
baby had both taken a zinc supplement. I looked it up in the brown
bible and found that zinc deficiency can cause rash.. Mom never
mentioned stinky stools so I have no idea whether this was also a
problem.
