What to do if your eight-month-old baby has allergies

Babies' skin is very delicate and they are prone to skin allergies due to improper diet or allergens in the environment. Eight-month-old babies have increased activity and more frequent contact with the outside world. In addition, the intake of various complementary foods invisibly increases the chance of skin allergies. For this reason, mothers are very worried. If the baby has skin allergies, mothers should not panic, do not scratch the affected area of ​​the baby's skin with their hands, and avoid giving the baby irritating foods such as fish and shrimp.

1. If your baby is allergic, do not let him scratch with his hands. Instead, touch him gently to prevent the vicious cycle of "itch-scratch-itch".

2. After the baby is allergic, do not bathe the baby frequently. During the bathing process, do not use irritating soaps for the baby, and use moisturizer on the baby immediately after washing.

3. Maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the baby's room. Do not always let the baby stay in the air-conditioned room. If it is too hot, mothers can consider putting a basin of water in the room, which can both lower the temperature and increase the humidity.

4. Massage the Quan point on the sole of the baby's feet once a day, massage (press or rub) 30 to 50 times each time, or soak the baby's feet in moxa leaves, which can help relieve the baby's skin allergies.

5. Pressing the fontanelle on the top of the baby's head can also relieve the pain, but it should be noted that this method is only suitable for babies under 1 and a half years old. The specific method is that the father covers the baby's fontanelle with his hands. Because the father is obviously stronger than the mother, covering it for 15 to 30 minutes will be enough.

6. When pressing the fontanelle on the top of the baby's head, give the baby plenty of warm water. Remember not to give the baby hot water, otherwise it will easily irritate the baby's weak nasal and laryngeal mucosa, causing mucosal congestion and decreased resistance.
