oh poor baby....it could be allergic reaction or it could just be due to the change of diet and not neccassarily an allergy. Change her more often and keep an ointment like aquafor on her skin to keep it sealed and protected. Sounds painful so be sure to use plenty of ointment since the diaper soaks some of it up.

Its from poo or urine sitting too long on her bum.
When babies first start eating solids it makes their poops a little more acidy for a while, you want to change them really fast for the first while, and use ointment to cut down on irritation.
