In fact, many babies will experience eczema after birth, so it is not so scary for one month old babies to have eczema. As parents, we not only need to remain calm in the face of these situations, but also need to learn more relevant nursing knowledge in order to help our babies recover their health as soon as possible. So, how should parents deal with eczema in a one month old baby?
1. Babies with eczema should not be easily exposed to water, and it is best to bathe once a day or every other day. And the water temperature should not be too high when taking a shower, usually around 37 ℃. Excessive water temperature can burn the baby's skin, which is not conducive to their recovery. And too low water temperature can make babies sick from cold. And don't let the baby wash alkaline bath products. However, if the baby's eczema is too severe, do not take a shower, or do not expose the affected area to water.
2. When a baby who develops eczema just one month ago wears clothes, it is best to choose clothes with long sleeves to prevent the baby from scratching the affected area due to itching, so as not to worsen the condition. Moreover, parents can apply some ointment to the affected area of their baby's illness to relieve itching and clear heat and dampness. Additionally, it is advisable for parents to cut off their baby's fingernails to prevent bacterial infection and inflammation caused by scratching the wound.
3. To restore the health of a baby with eczema as soon as possible, the environment should be kept clean and dry, and the indoor temperature should not be too high, so as not to make the baby feel uncomfortable all over. Moreover, parents should clean the indoor area frequently to reduce allergens such as mites and synthetic fibers. Moreover, it is best to change or clean the clothes and bedding that the baby has come into contact with every day, especially the baby's diapers, pillowcases, etc. should be cleaned thoroughly.
