Six-year-old BBs are particularly prone to eczema?!

Why are 6-month-old BBs particularly prone to eczema? There are four main reasons:-

1) Maternal antibodies begin to decrease

The baby is born with maternal antibodies to help the baby adapt to the new environment, but it slowly decreases after 4 months, and it begins to rely on the baby’s own immune system to deal with it, so it is easily affected by different external factors.

2) Teething
starts at 6 months, and teething will increase saliva, and the digestive enzymes in saliva will make the skin easy to dry, irritated and even sensitive.

3) Fortified foodsGenerally
, BB will start to fortify from 6 months, when BB is exposed to external food for the first time, it may cause allergic reactions to certain foods, such as crustaceans, gluten, high protein, etc., which are more likely to cause allergic reactions.

4) Excessive use of cleaning productsParents
will want to grow up healthily for their BB, and they will worry about the unclean environment/utensils/toys around them and cause illness, so they often use wet wipes, shower gel, laundry detergent, and even use bleach to clean the floor.

Ways to reduce sensitivity:

1) Continue to drink breast milk as much as possible: Breast milk has natural antibodies that can boost the immunity of BBs, thereby reducing the chance and degree of allergies.
2) Moisturizing: Newborn BB is in contact with the world for the first time, early moisturizing can help BB cope with the stimulation of the daily life environment, it is especially important to choose natural and organic moisturizers, it is recommended to use “Avocado Moisturizing Cream” to moisturize BB every day and strengthen the skin’s resistance.
