Any tips for caring baby with eczema?

Hello mommies!

My baby is having eczema which we just knew just recently when I decided to bring her to skin specialist because of her reddish itchy spots on her legs and arms. I felt bad about what my baby got. If only I can get my baby;s skin problem and transfer it to me, i will do it! but I guess what i can do best now is to take care of her in my best way. btw, any mommy here have the same case too? can you give me tips on how to take care of baby with eczema???

I understand how you feel because we are in the same shoe. All I can advise is when you bathe the baby make sure that the water is lukewarm but if the situation is worst, its good thing not give them a bath at all. After bathing, it also helpful to give baby a massage using cetaphil, physiogel or Kiehls baby nurturing cream. that way, you can lessen the flare and give ease to how baby felt.

In my child's case, I clean baby without water. I used cleaning that is water free. The paed advised me also to use cleansing that has low detergent level. after that I am also using moisturizer when I massage her. I am really glad to see her feeling calm and at ease after the massage.

I guess we are all doing the same thing to take care of our baby but i just want to add something that I do. I always watch the food that my baby intake. im seeing to it that i feed her with foods that can't trigger allergy. also the soap that I am using to wash her clothes is those low level because based on my research, detergent soaps have something to do with those allergies and rashes.

I see. thanks mommies for your tips. regarding the detergent soaps, where can we buy those mild ones?? and aside from diary products what else should we avoid to give baby???

As the baby is having the eczema, you need to take a lot of care regarding its soap and the products that you are using on the skin and many other things.
