FAQ: Eczema in baby
A baby’s skin is incredibly sensitive and a rash or any kind of skin dermatitis can be alarming for a new mom. Eczema in baby skin can occur anywhere on the baby’s body – from the face to the torso. Though it can be very uncomfortable for infants, eczema in baby skin is treatable. However, you should see your pediatrician if you notice redness and cracking of the skin.
Moms can take certain steps to prevent eczema in baby skin and there are also some helpful ways to relieve this condition.
Here are some tips for preventing and/or relieving eczema in baby skin:
- Avoid personal care products that include known irritants such as fragrances and dyes that can aggravate eczema in baby skin. Be sure that you are using the gentlest products possible. This also includes products that you use to wash anything touching your baby’s skin (like clothing), i.e., make sure that the detergent is free of irritating chemicals or additives.
- Try to keep your baby's skin from becoming too dry. Many experts now believe that daily bathing can be helpful for eczema in baby skin.
- Use a mild soap and the most gentle moisturizer possible.
If your infant is suffering from diaper rash in addition to eczema, be sure that your diaper rash cream is also gentle and safe to use on your baby’s skin.
There are skin care lines that are specially formulated to be the safest and most effective options for eczema in baby skin, while still being gentle. Look for skincare lines that are free of xenoestrogens, parabens, phthalates, artificial dyes and fragrances. Also, note that just because a product is labeled as “organic”, it does that necessarily mean that it meets these criteria.
Belli skincare’s Belli Baby line offers the purest, most gentle ingredients that nourish and protect delicate skin and are very effective in treating eczema in baby skin. Every product is allergy tested and free of artificial dyes, fragrances, phthalates, and other xenoestrogens-- ingredients that can act like hormones and interfere with normal development of the reproductive system.
To treat eczema in baby skin: use Belli’s Calm Me Hair and Body Wash when bathing your infant. Wash and shampoo your baby at the end of the bath so that s/he isn't sitting in soapy water. As soon as you get your baby out of the tub, pat the skin dry (don't rub) and then promptly apply a liberal amount of Bellis’ Nourish Me Lotion to the eczema-afflicted area so that the moisture is "sealed in".
Belli Baby Nourish Me Lotion is physician formulated and recommend by pediatricians as the safest way to clean and moisturize baby’s delicate skin. It is a leading product in helping to relieve eczema in baby skin.
ALL of Belli Baby products are free of all xenoestrogens, parabens, phthalates, artificial dyes and fragrances. Belli also conducts the highest level of allergy testing RIPT (repeat insult patch testing) to help insure your baby’s driest skin is effectively nourished.
