Top 10 Tips to Heal Baby Eczema

- My baby has eczema 🥺
here are my top 10 things that helped reduce & control flare ups
1. eliminate all fragrance
Fragrance free detergents, no laundry softeners/sheets, hang dry clothing & fragrance free lotions and soaps.
2. switch to natural fabrics - no synthetics
Look for organic cotton, linen, bamboo and hemp.
3. bathe in oat baths
I use real oats. Run the bath water over the oats. Ideally bath should last at least 10 mins to allow for the oats to work their magic.
4. Moisturize (A LOT)
After baths, apply lotion right away to damp skin. I moisturize at every diaper change. & I apply lotion in layers. I let one layer absorb and then add another layer until his skin looks well saturated.
5. Slugging (apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly all over each night)
This one is actually backed by the AAD. They claim that it often works better than any lotion or cream. It seals moisture in as an emollient.
6. Dietary cuts (eggs and dairy are key triggers)
I’ve asked for a referral to an allergist. I think my son has many food triggers - definitely eggs and dairy for now.
7. Reduce dust
This is a tough one, but dust mites are a big trigger. Try to vacuum as often as you can. Put your focus on any carpets in bedroom where baby sleeps. I also just ordered an air purifier to place by his bed. And we switched to dust repellent sheets.
8. Add humidity through a humidifier
Being in Canada we have very dry winters and it’s only worse with the heater on all day.
9. Light layers at bedtime (overheating makes it worse)
10. Cover their skin (less chance to break skin barrier through itching)
Flare ups happen when there is a break in their skin barrier. The less they can itch the better.

What a precious baby you have. Beautiful. Be careful what you feed him. Only organic natural foods and beware of allergenic ones.
Don’t trust baby food.
Avoid unnecessary vaccines.
Been there done that. It is not worth it.
You have a very expressive happy baby.

May I ask what Detergent are using to watch his clothes?
What a beautiful baby 😍😍
He is sooo gorgiousssssss
Thank you!
You’re a wonderful mother ❤
That means a lot🤍🥹 thank you for your kind words
hellooo! im am 13 and has had eczema for my entire life, so my mom used to put wraps around the areas where it was bad with lotions and mostriuser under it! this is so it could soak in and so i would not scratch it!! and it is pretty much gone now!
Have you even trier Laroche possay ab baume!
I was told by a dermatologist to grind the oats into a fine powder. It should dissolve in the water, not sink/float. The idea is that you get the most out of the effects of the oatmilk bath. You are a better mother than my sister and I had
Hey is it safe to use daily ? Can we apply that water directly over skin ?
@aanchaljhamb6813 Yes, you can use it daily unless, of course, you see obvious signs of increased irritation. I would check with your doctor and dermatologist to make sure daily baths are suitable for your child's condition, if only to ensure that it won't strip the natural oils off the surface layers of their skin.
Salaam! My baby also has eczema & allergies and the specialist told us to get rid of humidifiers as the damp air can cause more dust mites and I’m so confused because we love using ours! Especially when he gets a dry cough / blocked nose.
Salam🤍 oh that’s so interesting! I didn’t get that from our allergist or Pediatric derm. The allergist and derm actually suggested we have both a humidifier AND an air purifier. The air purifier I’ve absolutely loved. I ended up getting one for every area in our home off of Amazon. It needs to be HEPA grade to properly filter everything like dust and dander. My husband has asthma and he has seen a tremendous difference in our home since I got them also. That may be of help if you want to keep your humidifier. We also get dry cough/blocked nose without ours, but we also have very dry winters and that makes me sons eczema absolutely brutal. InshaAllah it helps🤍
I had it really bad when I was a baby and I'm 9 still has eczema
My baby 3 month old and she have eczema please more video
hello, what is poba, the most effective medicine for the baby's steam?
Thank you!
You're welcome!☺️
sounds good.
So my 6 month old has extremely dry skin, it started in his stomach with a small patch but now has it in his knees. Every time i try to apply anything with oatmeal or the oatmeal colloidal his skin gets super irritated and he gets tiny red bumps all over his body. Has anyone had this happen to them or there kids?
It could be a reaction to oats. In that case I would opt for aquaphor or Vaseline to clear it up. My baby reacted to tubby Todd because of the coconut🥲 unfortunately some times things like oats, coconuts, milk, etc can be triggers for some babies. So the safest bet to clear it up then would be either aquaphor or Vaseline as they’re hypoallergenic 👍🏻
I have eczema really bad and I'm 11 but I had it since was born
I hope you find something to lessen the flares.🥺 I developed eczema in adulthood and it’s so frustrating. Get well soon 🤍
Thanks!!!
Welcome!🥰
Wallahi I miss watching your videos 😢 they helped me during my pregnancy journey. I hope you and your family are well, Insha’Allah ❤️
JAK🤍 I’m so happy to be of help. I want to come back to this platform. Just need to get a laptop to edit again😅 isA
These tips are awesome. I've tried the oath bath after reading it on the internet. I will keep trying it, how many bathes does it took you with oatmeal?
I hope it helps🤍 it takes about 3 days to a week to see a difference. You also want to be sure that you’re not in water for more than 5 mins. Baths are great, but only for short interval of time. I time my sons baths from 3-5mina max each night. I also don’t dry his skin out of the bath. I moisturize IMMEDIATELY and then sels that in with an emollient (we use Vaseline). Then I dress him in natural fabrics (cotton, bamboo, hemp, linen, etc). Get well soon!
@@Coolbabymama Thank you I'll do more oath bathes. Yes the doctors did told me to reduce showering time and don't use hot / warm water it dries out the skin more.
@@Coolbabymamahey could you please confirm how do to use water ? Like the thin paste directly over skin and then wash it with normal water?
MOTHER❤❤❤
Same I have eczema as a 14 year old 😩😭
May baby has dry skin atopic dermatitis and cold never stop
Moisturize as much as you can. I would also highly recommend an air purifier and humidifier for the colds that don’t stop. I have 4 kids now and it saves us big time.
Salam why did you stop making vlogs. They are very nice
Thank you 🤍 it’s a long story 🥲 InshaAllah I hope to get back to it
What can I apply to a baby’s scalp with eczema?
I would use the oat milk bath water over my babies scalp. Follow that with a soft bristle brush for their hair and then I would put a pea size amount of moisturizer followed by a pea size amount of PJ and massage gently on the scalp. I also recommend changing their sheets to bamboo, satin or silk sheets to reduce friction while they sleep. Also opt for baby hats that are bamboo/satin or silk lined or made. That also helps protect them from itching during the day. I hope your baby feels better soon 🤍
Oh that's why I have eczema I was eating lot of eggs
Thank you so much for posting this. What cream did you like more, the Mustela or the Cerave?
Happy to help 🤍 Mustela, BUT when my baby has bad flare ups I go straight to LRP Lipikar balm. It just works to make the flares go away fastest. Between flare ups I use Aveeno Baby Lotion (the fragrance free one) and that works, plus it’s cost effective for our family.
@@Coolbabymama thanks for these tips , my grandson is in a bad flare-up 😢We ordered Eucerin baby lotion and Aveeno baby wash.
@@JessieLee_ I went to a skin therapist and she give me advice that Eucerin is also good (for eczema)
@@Ashortutorial. thanks so much 💜 So far it’s helping his skin. I’m thinking he has psoriasis, I’m no doctor, but he gets these patches on his head that’s a really thick circle of skin that pills up easily and have like a wet or liquid substance underneath!? I do know it’s either eczema or psoriasis, but as soon as my daughter settles in her first apartment as a single mom she’ll find doctors in this area for the babies. She was living like an hour away so she has to change all the doctors so hopefully he’ll find out soon enough if he has eczema or psoriasis but for now, the Eucerin baby lotion is helping the skin along with the baby wash. Personally, for me the Eucerin, lotion, and sometimes I’ll use the dove body love sensitive care, lotion, fragrance free, which is much lighter consistency. Have both been working for me. Again ty for your help.
@@JessieLee_ @It’s Jess You're welcome sometimes it's hard to know what products to use if it's not sure what the skin condition exactly is. I'm glad it's helping his skin and I hope you'll find out what it is and how you can improve it further. I'm not sure how psoriasis looks like either on the head. I haven't tried Eucerin yet cuz I have some creams from doctor description, thank you also for mentioning it that might also help others
Now...how is ur baby?
Hi, my baby got eczema flare up on her forehead. Now its healed so its white. Did your baby's skin get pigmented after eczema went away? How long did the pigmentation take to go away if he had it?
Yes, pigmentation can be a sign of scarring. Keep moisturizing. The Vaseline or Aquaphor is one of the best things for scarring. I recommend following up with the derm.
Which laundry detergent do you use?
I opt for fragrance free. I’ve used a couple different brands: Arm & Hammer Sensitive, Tide Zero, Attitude Sensitive, Nature Clean, etc. The key is to find one that’s fragrance free👍🏻 I try to get the one that’s on sale, bc in this economy it’s expensive as is 🥲 and specialty items for eczema in particular add up fast.
My baby is always itching her face and head all the time please tell me that is this will be stopped sometime?
Yes, but the key is to get that flare up resolved. Moisturize A LOT. Wet their face with a damp clean washcloth, do not dry, top with moisturizer (fragrance free is key) and then top off with an emollient (I use Vaseline or aquaphor). Keep their nails as short as you can. When you’re doing bathtime, take some of that oat infused bath water and gently dab it over the affected area. That’s how I got rid of it completely on my child’s face and head. As they grow if they have more than just baby eczema it may spread to other regions. Eczema is one of those things that needs a lot of maintenance to keep flare ups away. It’s tough, I know, but you’ve got this! And I hope your baby feels better soon 🤍
As a breastfeeding mom do I also have to cut down diet
Yes, the suggested dietary cuts are for breastfeeding moms. I was told to start with one at a time. That way I didn’t have to eliminate everything. My son was reacting to dairy, soy and eggs at that time. Since then he has very little reaction to any of those things. Just took time for his digestive system to mature and breakdown those proteins better.
Disclaimer: Formula switches should be discussed with the baby’s pediatrician or doctor and same goes with any dietary changes a baby on solids may have should go through the doctor.
Which oatmeal brand are you using if you don’t mind me asking
Not at all ☺️ I get the organic sprouted oats from Costco. Use any rolled oats you can, but I do recommend opting for organic in this case so you get just the benefit of the oats. The one from Costco that I have in my area is called “One Degree” and as I mentioned it’s organic and sprouted. It doesn’t take a lot for a baby bath, I use roughly 2 tbsps.
Thank you! going over to cosco ASAP just for this.
Please share your baby diet its a humble request
Yes hope to post this soon 👍🏻
Plz post diet plan of your baby I need for my baby girl she is suffering from eczema
Ngl eggs do give me flare but everything else nahh i eat these everyday
I listed common triggers. It doesn’t mean if someone has eczema then they have all of them or any. It’s just a good place to start. Test elimination a week one at a time. If reaction decreases continue to cut it out. If reaction persists bring it back. That’s what we were advised by the Pediatric allergist.
Eggs and diary are flare ups
For how long he stay with eczema
My son still has it and he just turned 2 years old. They say most babies will outgrow eczema by age 1, if not by then, more will outgrow it at puberty and the remainder will have it as a lifelong skin issue. Some will go long periods of time without any flare ups and then flare up (what feels like) suddenly out of nowhere.
Currently, we have managed my sons eczema and he hasn’t had many flare ups. 👍🏻
What are some products(cream, moisturizer) you use ?
I’ve used quite a few: LaRoche Posay Lipikar, Aveeno Baby Eczema, Mustela Emolient cream, CeraVe Baby, Cetephil Baby and Tubby Todd. My faves are the first two. The others are highly recommended by others, but never worked for my baby.
Sameee
@@Coolbabymama how to use eczema aveeno cream , is this moisturizer?can we apply anytime or only one tym ? Pls tell me pls
@@mufseenamubeenali8435 I use the Aveeno baby eczema lotion, so it can be used multiple times a day. It’s best applied to damp skin right out of the bath. The other eczema balm is applied right after the lotion. It’s an emollient like petroleum jelly.
@@Coolbabymama thnks💫
Hello hope u see this..
My baby having same case as urs..
Do I have to take him bath everyday?
I give all my kids a bath or shower (for my older ones) every day. I believe a 3-5 min max really helps keep their skin healthy. Especially for my kiddo with eczema. Just a quick bath and once a week with oats has been really helpful for reducing flare up’s. he’s currently two. I can only speak from my experience, but giving a daily bath has been a helpful practice in my home. I do know some experts recommend every other day, but definitely see that timed baths are helpful. Just be sure not to dry their skin out of the bath. Moisturizer while skin is damp and then seal with an emollient.
@@Coolbabymama Thank You I appreciate ur response..
I have Eczema to
Get well soon 🤍

Did you say oat milk baths? I need help for my daughter
Yes!😊 they’re very soothing for any type of rash or inflammation and easy to whip up. Just put some oats in a strainer and run the water over it as the bath fills.
@@Coolbabymama Hello. Do the oats have to be organic or colloidal or anything?
@@Mrsthing2011 I've put the oatmeal in a blender I saw it on internet
How about if they prone to heat rash?
Cool clothing. I like bamboo. There’s more affordable ones on Amazon. It’s worth having just a few pieces, especially for sleep. Keeps away heat rash and it’s safe for their sensitive skin.
@@Coolbabymama what's another name for bamboo clothes?
Uffffffff after a couple of months 😢I miss your vlogs
Hi, did you use any meds on him? Also is there an update on his eczema?
No I did not. I was trying to avoid them, because over time they can thin the skin and also they’re the type of medication where your body can adapt to it and need higher doses. The dermatologist I took my son to agreed that I can try these methods and use medication sparingly if needed. Thankfully we haven’t had to resort to them following this protocol. Although my sons eczema type is considered moderate/severe. He’s currently 1 1/2 years old and still has flare ups from time to time - depends on the trigger. Winter was very dry this year, so took time finding the right moisturizers to bring that down. I’ll try and post an update soon🤍
You should try raw milk if you can
11. Your over the top.
*a caring parent
@@Coolbabymama ahh yeah.
Heal your babies gut!!!
My babies all take probiotics. Eczema is often genetic. We have asthma, allergies and eczema on both sides of our families. Also, my baby at this time period was exclusively breastfed & breastmilk has an abundance of benefit to a baby developing digestive system.
It can be environmental too , My gut is doing okay and I have eczema
