Mom pays attention to keeping food records. First, control foods that are easy to cause allergies, such as eggs, milk, shelled seafood, mangoes, peaches, etc. After some suspicious foods stop eating, observe whether the baby's eczema will be alleviated.
If the baby's allergies have improved after control, it means that the food that causes the baby's allergies is among them. At this point, the mother will add one food after another, and each food will be tested for 2 ~ 3 days to determine which foods the baby will have allergic reactions to.
However, mothers should not blindly stop all suspicious foods, otherwise the nutritional intake is too single, which will also affect their health and the quality of breast milk.
If no matter how taboo the mother is, the baby's eczema has not changed significantly, the mother can return to normal diet. Whether it is necessary to avoid eating, mothers should pay attention to a balanced and healthy diet.
In addition, infants who are exclusively breastfed may also have milk protein allergy. At this time, lactating mothers need to avoid ingesting animal milk, including milk, goat milk or cheese, yogurt and so on.
Generally speaking, eczema is not a reason to stop breastfeeding, because breast milk may be the most suitable diet for allergic babies.
If the baby is mixed feeding, be sure to pay attention to whether the baby is allergic to milk protein when eczema occurs. If you are confirmed to be allergic to milk protein, your baby should completely avoid food and milk powder containing milk protein and replace it with milk powder with low allergenicity.
For babies, complementary food is usually added after 6 months, so babies at this time are prone to food-induced allergies. Therefore, when adding complementary food to the baby, it is best to add it slowly, only one at a time, so that if there is allergy, it is easier to determine which food causes the allergy. For example, in common baby food supplements, the yolk of eggs is not easy to cause allergies, while the egg white is just the opposite. Other complementary foods, such as potatoes, rice flour and floss, are not easy to cause allergies, but seafood that is easy to cause allergies, such as fish and shrimp, should be eaten as little as possible.
