Prevention

.Most cases of infant eczema may be caused by the children's allergy to certain macromolecules in foods such as protein, fish and milk. These substances can also be passed to the baby through the mother's breast milk. Therefore, this disease is more likely to occur in well-nourished and obese children or those with indigestion.

In order to prevent food allergies in babies, when trying new foods, you must start with a small amount and gradually increase the amount. If there is no allergy, add another new food after 7-10 days. If the child is too obese and is fed too much or too often, the amount and frequency of feeding should be controlled.

If it is estimated that the child is allergic to cow's milk, the milk can be boiled several times before feeding to denature the milk protein, or the child can be fed human milk, goat's milk, soy milk, etc. instead.

If the child is allergic to egg white, only give him egg yolk, or give him a small amount of egg white first and then gradually increase the amount.

If the child is allergic to breast milk, advise the mother to temporarily eat less or no eggs, milk, seafood or highly irritating foods.

At the same time, in order to avoid excessive fluid accumulation in the child's body and aggravate the disease, the sick child's food should contain less salt. If the child has constipation, honey or laxatives may be given as appropriate to prevent allergic food from staying in the intestines for too long.

The above is an introduction to what to do if a two-month-old baby has eczema on his face. After understanding this, when we encounter such a situation again, we must take better care of the baby in time. First of all, we must keep the baby's facial skin clean and dry. In addition, mothers who breastfeed must adjust their diet in time and eat more light and nutritious foods. This will be of great help to the recovery of eczema on the baby's face.
