What should I do if my baby has small red bumps due to food allergies?

Since the baby has just been born, many parents don’t know what their children may be allergic to. Sometimes babies will have allergies if they eat the wrong things and develop a lot of small red bumps. Children don’t understand and may scratch their skin due to the itch, leaving scars. What should we do at this time to quickly solve this problem and help children recover their health? Let us introduce it to you today.

Newborn babies may develop this type of eczema. Most of them suffer from allergic reactions due to allergies to certain macromolecules in foods such as protein, fish and milk.

So how can we prevent food allergies in newborn babies?

1. Do not add formula milk too early

Newborn babies lack normal flora in their intestines. Adding formula milk at this time will damage the baby's immune system, and eventually cause the baby's body to overreact to the formula milk, causing allergies.

2. Do not add complementary foods too early. Add complementary foods gradually.

Many parents will add some calcium or other vitamin supplements to their babies' food when feeding them. These foods need to be digested in the intestines. Newborn babies do not have enzymes in their intestines that can digest these foods, so the immune system will regard them as "foreign invaders" and eventually cause allergies.

When adding complementary foods to babies, you should follow the principles of increasing from one type to multiple types, from less to more, from fine to coarse, and from thin to thick.

For example: start with vegetables, rice, cereals, and fruits, in small quantities and with single items as the preferred variety.

If you discover your child has an adverse reaction when you start adding complementary foods, stop immediately and wait 6 to 8 months before adding complementary foods again. Eggs, meat, and fish should be added after 18 months.

3. Use disinfectants as little as possible

In daily life, babies will inevitably come into contact with bacteria. Many parents will use disinfectants to disinfect their babies, which is an incorrect practice.

Although parents often use disinfectants to eliminate harmful bacteria around babies, the beneficial bacteria around babies are also killed. The baby cannot be exposed to bacteria, and the intestinal flora cannot be established, which will affect the immune function of the intestine and seriously affect the development of the immune function of the whole body.
