If this rash does not make your baby feel uncomfortable, there are no reasons to get worried about it, you should only take a good care of his skin and try to avoid overheating.
Communication
Touching perception is usually very important for your baby, but you should keep in mind, that he is undergoing a process of the human’s individuality development.

Your Baby’s Achievements
Intellectual
Your little child can distinguish his “native” and “strange” voices, faces, smells. He also coordinates his feelings, and turns his head to see the sound source and to his “favourite” breast. He studies his own movements, and becomes active, having a sentiment about his favourite procedures: bathing, feeding, going for a walk, etc.
Social
Your baby is able to sooth himself with sucking. He responds upon someone’s presence by moving activity. Your little child can recognize your face or voice with a definite reaction. He spends more time without sleep, if someone communicates of plays with him. He pricks up his ears if there is a new person. He prefers communication with a person rather than with a subject. Your baby begins to like bathing.
Sensor – Motive
His reflexes and actions are kind of aimed already. Your baby can hold his head for a several minutes, and he fixes his look on a vivid subject for a little while. His muscle tonus develops. He begins to bubble and receives pleasure from the sounds he produces. Your little child keeps moving his arms and hands constantly, but these movements are a little more coordinated than they used to be a month ago.
