What Causes Vaginal Itching In A Baby?

Hi, my 11 month old baby girl is scratching her vagina. I have looked, and there is no rash, there is a small pimple on one of the outer lips, but it seems to be disappearing. If I take off her nappy, she immediately starts to scratch. I have also looked at her vagina, and there is no funny smell or discharge and it does not seem red or anything. Is this scratching normal?

Hi, Yes it is absolutely normal. If there is no rashes, no foul smelling discharge and she is not cranky or crying while passing urine, you don't need to worry. Just maintain good hygiene, wash the area gently and keep her diaperless as much as possible.
