In babies with paler skin, when eczema is flaring the skin is red and itchy. In babies with darker skin, the irritated, itchy areas may be red but are more likely to show as darker (hyper pigmented) patches. They may also appear paler around the front or back of knees or elbows.

Why babies develop eczema

Researchers do not know a specific reason for eczema. It is known to develop from various triggers. Genetics is seen to have a role, as well as allergies. Because skin on infants and thin and usually fair (no matter what ethnicity at birth) it is very common for babies to get.

If your baby has it and it is hard to rid of on your own with OTC products, you need to talk to your pediatrician and probably consult with a dermatologist.

Sometimes infant eczema can happen all the way through toddler years. You need to be on top of the condition for ways of prevention.

Keep dry clothing on your child
Change diaper every time child is wet or soiled
Use barrier creams or ointments that are soothing, hydrating, and healing
Prepare high vitamin C smoothies with peaches, blueberries, pears, mangos—foods that most babies or toddlers would like: apple sauces

While even with proper prevention your baby could still develop the condition. Always be aware of potential pollutants. Wash baby clothing, blankets and other materials in a non-toxic soap or detergent. Make sure baby room and play area (Or any area of your home is clean and sterile as much as possible and any electronic or furniture in the home is dust free and wiped down daily.

Clean toys (Make sure toys that can contain water are cleaned out, you may have to throw away any that develop mold inside or other debris; wash stuffed animals and dry thoroughly and frequently)
Clean out bottles or other devices you use on or for your baby frequently
Clean carpeting and hardwood floors
Dust furniture
Wipe down counters and baby furniture
Wash baby items and clothing and other material
Use Luke warm water when bathing
Use topical corticosteroids (Prescription from your doctor)
Try to eliminate triggers; keep a log of when the problem is starting to develop
Always check for severe areas of eczema because children’s skin is easily infected if the skin issues are severe

Will eczema disappear overtime?

Yes, it can vanish. However, the condition could stay throughout childhood through adulthood due to allergies or other factors, causing a flare. Typically, the condition does vanish as your infant grows older. When the child has other medical conditions or is on certain medications or is ultra-sensitive skin wise—this could make the condition stay around.

Make sure to remove allergens. Always cleaning up immediately after a bathroom accent, sweating, or other issues are essential to be aware of.

Feeding your baby highest nutrient foods

Eating as healthy as possible is another way to improve well-being and overall immune function and help reduce chances of eczema and keeping digestive health and skin health top-tier. Breast feed if you can.

During development it is essential to get the proper amount of nutrition. Breast milk is the best (as long as you’re not taking pharmaceuticals) and helps keep your baby healthy and actively growing and learning. It is essential for these probiotics to get to their GI tracts and is critical for immune system development. If you cannot breastfeed, there are many baby formulas out there that can assist you with feeding your infant the first several months to a year. You want to find the most natural baby formula and consider blending certain foods that can improve immune system and help with growth.

As your baby gets older, you can do meals on your own. There are bullet blending systems that come with a variety of containers and sizes to store your foods. Or you can still purchase pre-prepped foods as well.
