Parenting is hard. So damn hard. And it is even harder if your child is a little “unique”.<\/p>\n

This uniqueness means some different conditions, which require more attention. My son had infant torticollis<\/a> and I spent the first 4 months with very little sleep (around 2 hours a day) to work his neck out. Some of my friends’ children have skin condition, like eczema.<\/p>\n

How common is eczema in babies? Around 10% of children have eczema, it is the most common skin condition of the first 10 years.<\/p>\n

One of many ways to help soothing your baby is to use lotion. In this article, we will cover how to know if your baby has eczema, which can worsen the condition, and how to choose the best natural baby lotion for eczema.<\/p>\n

Eczema is a skin problem that makes the skin red, irritated and itchy. It can impact your skin hydration and make your skin become dry and cracked. It’s more common among children but it can occur at any age.<\/p>\n

How to know if your baby has eczema?<\/h2>\n

The most common sign you can notice is that the skin becomes dry, scaly and cracked. <\/p>\n

Your baby can experience severe itching, especially at night. Your baby cries non-stop at night? Maybe this is one of the reasons.<\/p>\n

Carefully observe your baby’s skin as itchy bumps called hives may pop up, or red to brownish-gray patches, mainly on the hands, elbows, feet, knees, ankles, wrists, neck, upper chest, eyelids,… The areas, where the rash appears, may become lighter or darker, or even get thicker.<\/p>\n

Possible causes of eczema<\/h2>\n

Food allergies<\/h3>\n

Take a note about what your child eats in the last 3 days to determine the exact cause as there may have some kinds of food that your kid is allergic to.<\/p>\n

Gene variation<\/h3>\n

If you or your husband used to or currently suffer from eczema, the same situation might happen to the baby.<\/p>\n

Environmental effects<\/h3>\n

Too hot or too cold weather can cause some skin problems including eczema.<\/p>\n

Low resistance & Immune system problems<\/h3>\n

If the baby was born with a weak immune system or he is having a cold, the health resistance won\u2019t function well enough to fight off bacteria.<\/p>\n
