What All Parents Should Know About Baby Eczema And Natural Skin Care Products

By Julia Cooper Davidson


Nobody likes the idea of dealing with an itchy condition. Imagine how much worse it would be if you were an infant with eczema. Babies come equipped with the softest and most sensitive skin than anyone will ever have in their life. Caring for it requires the use of natural and gentle products. Every parent should take the time to learn about baby eczema and natural skin care.

Itches that cannot be scratched can drive an adult almost insane. Now imagine you are an infant and cannot communicate what is bothering you to the person who is attending to you. As you can imagine it can make a child very irritable and grumpy. You can help solve this problem naturally by using dry oatmeal ground into powder. Try adding 2 cups to lukewarm running bathwater. Allowing your infant to soak for 15 minutes will help ease her discomfort. Make sure to rinse off the residue and pat dry instead of rubbing to decrease the chances of further irritation.

Moisture preservation is very important, especially when there is a problem with eczema. Topical lotions that contain aloe vera are very good at hydrating and healing. Application should be made several times a day and especially after bathing. This should keep your child properly moisturized and keep her from becoming too dry.

Protecting your child from further irritation and damage is very important. Do not use harsh cleansers such as bargain bath soap or bubble bath. Make sure any type of bathing product you purchase has mild cleansers in them so you do not irritate your baby's sensitive outer layer. Using a humidifier may also help keep your infant protected by balancing the moisture content in the air.

Products that contain healing vitamins such as vitamin E can assist the skin in healing itself. The vitamins will be introduced directly into the cells by absorption so it is a highly efficient means to treat this condition. Avoid those products which have fragrances and dyes in them. These could actually sting and cause your little loved one pain.

Your child's pediatrician could be one of the best sources of information you could possibly use when it comes to your child's health. More and more doctors are realizing that parents are beginning to use natural products to keep their children healthy. Any occurring or worsening conditions should be reported right away.

These tips on baby eczema and natural skin care can help your child feel much better in a short amount of time. Never let the problem progress too far so it can be treated as quickly as possible.
