What causes baby allergies?

Children's skin is the most delicate. During the development stage, children do not have strong immunity, so it is easy to cause allergic symptoms such as skin redness, swelling, eczema, etc. Especially in summer, when the weather is hot, the baby's skin is mostly exposed to the outside and will be more directly exposed to some allergens. Redness, small red rashes, etc. may appear. Some parents will then ask what is going on with their baby’s allergies. Let’s take a look at the specific reasons.

First, let’s understand some of the reasons why babies may be allergic. In this way, once we find that our baby is allergic, we can take targeted measures to solve the problem, so that we can see results quickly and reduce the baby’s pain. Once the cause is found, parents will not be so panicked and anxious. They will have the confidence and courage to take good care of their babies instead of seeking medical treatment from all directions and bringing unnecessary trouble.

There are two main reasons for baby allergies. One is internal, which is the influence of diet, and the other is external, which is the influence of external allergens. As for the influence of diet on the former, when babies are infants, they drink milk and eat complementary foods. Milk is divided into breast milk and formula. Sometimes mothers do not pay attention to their diet and eat spicy or greasy food, which leads to milk problems and can cause allergies in the baby. The second problem is milk powder, which is usually too concentrated, or the baby is not used to and adapted to this kind of milk powder; then there is the problem of complementary food, because the baby needs a transition period from drinking milk to adding complementary food. If you do not grasp the details of adding complementary food, it will easily cause indigestion in the baby, cause allergies and other complications.

Well, when it comes to the influence of external substances, it is mainly the stimulation of pollen. Many adults will be allergic to pollen, not to mention babies, especially in spring and summer, when there is a lot of pollen. In the flowers, the pollen in the air and the bacteria carried by the pollen can easily cause allergic symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling of the baby's skin. In addition, the home environment that the baby comes into contact with must be clean and tidy. If it is damp and dirty, it will breed a lot of bacteria, which will have a very bad effect on the baby.

The above is a detailed introduction to the causes of baby allergies. For babies who are prone to allergies, more attention should be paid to daily feeding and they should try to eat less food that is prone to allergies. Especially for breastfeeding women, do not eat too much seafood to avoid breastfeeding and causing allergies in the baby.
