My daughter is now 2 months old. She has a rash on her face, neck, ears and scalp. My mom look at it and said it wasn't cradle cap. I was thinking possibly it could be from my milk? The rash is just a bunch of little red bumps.

Most likely it could be an allergic reaction to something. Either from a soap, lotion, material, or something you ate. Yep, what you eat directly affects your milk. It also could be something else. What you need to do is take her to the doctor and let them tell you so that there is no mistake and she is treated for what is wrong.
Congrats on having a daughter.. enjoy, they grow fast

It really could be any number of things that is causing the rash. The first thought is that it could be some kind of contact dermatitis. This could be that she is allergic to something that you are wearing on your skin or even the laundry detergent that you are using. If this is the case, you might need to consult with your pediatrician about it. I wish that I could be of more help to you, but this isn't something that I've ever experienced.

Babies are sensitive and some of them are allergic to particular things. I think that your baby is allergic to shampoo or soap that you are using on her. She could be allergic to washing powder that you wash her clothes in. My mom has a very sensitive skin so I let her use a non perfumed gentle soap for her hands in my bathroom. If my mom washes her hands in another sort of soap if will bring give her an itchy red rash on her hands and it spreads up her arms.
