Principles of adding complementary food to babies with eczema

Eczema is a very common disease, which has a great impact on physical health. If you suffer from this disease, you need to receive timely treatment. Once eczema occurs, the disease will be difficult to cure. Therefore, when treating eczema, you must do it as soon as possible. When a baby suffers from this disease, there are many treatment methods. What are the principles of adding complementary foods to babies with eczema? Many parents are not clear about this.

Principles of adding complementary food to babies with eczema

For babies with eczema, adding complementary foods must be done with caution and care.

For babies with severe eczema, the addition of complementary foods can be delayed slightly, and can be started from 6 months old.

Most baby eczema attacks are related to diet, often resulting in allergies due to poor decomposition of protein in food. Therefore, pay attention to controlling your baby's diet and try to avoid and reduce the intake of foods that may induce eczema.

Things you should pay attention to when feeding your baby

The first thing a baby comes into contact with is milk. If the baby is breastfed, the mother may pass the heat to the baby through breast milk after eating fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, beef, mutton, mango, pineapple, cantaloupe and other hot fruits. After eating these foods, mothers should pay attention to whether the baby's eczema gets worse. If the baby's rash is indeed related to the mother's eating the above foods, the mother should try not to eat allergenic foods while breastfeeding.

If the baby's eczema has little to do with the food the mother eats, the baby may be allergic to breast milk. It is recommended to change the method of feeding the baby and use formula milk (preferably low-allergy formula milk) to feed the baby.

If a bottle-fed or mixed-fed baby suffers from eczema, you should try to choose a hypoallergenic formula or a desensitizing formula for feeding.

After understanding the principles of adding complementary foods to babies with eczema, you can follow the above methods when adding complementary foods to your baby. However, please note that if the baby vomits or has other symptoms during the process of eating complementary foods, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time to see if the baby has other diseases.
