Identify the cause for your daughter's irritation. Perhaps it is yeast, compounded by a food sensitivity. Perhaps it is something else.
So, eliminate the food sensitivity (could be dairy, wheat, etc.) If she is breastfeeding, perhaps she just needs a boost of probiotics (and so do you) or fish oil to reduce inflammation. Calendula poultices (like a little teabag) placed topically or an oatmeal soak (oatmeal placed in a little permeable sock--like a nylon trouser sock) in the bathwater may be helpful to palliate itching.
