Avoid internal allergens - determine and eliminate foods from the diet that cause eczema.
This is one of the most overlooked aspects of baby eczema treatment. Once the food that causes the eczema has been found and removed from the diet, it can take only few days for the eczema to clear up.
Here is a list of foods that are known to cause eczema in babies and should be removed from the diet:
Cow dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) - replace with goats dairy. Cow dairy in formula can sometimes be enough to flare up eczema. If possible, feed your baby instead of cow diary with breast milk (it is the purest of all milks). Breast milk is an important factor in building up a strong immune system.
Citrus
Wheat
Soy
Berries
Chocolate, peanuts and peanut butter
Fish
Avoid external allergens - use 100% pure cotton clothes and cloth diapers, use natural scent free soaps and baby shampoo for washing and keep your home dust free. Use creams and lotions with only natural ingredients.
Cloth diapers are not as cheap and comfortable to handle as disposable diapers because you have to use diaper service or handle the diaper load by yourself, but it is important that your baby's most sensitive parts are in touch only with natural materials to avoid eczema flaring up where it is most painful.
Use calendula cream, chamomile tea, unrefined olive oil and sea salt baths to soothe and treat the baby eczema.
Based on many success stories on internet forums, these natural remedies have turned out to be very effective for eczema treatment. You can find more information about them in my previous article titled Natural Cure for Eczema. You can also try Aloe Vera to soothe and heal the skin, but keep in mind that some babies are allergic to it.
Boost your babies immune system by taking him/her out to FRESH air as often as possible.
