Make Your Own Baby Eczema Cream At Home
10% of babies worldwide are affected by baby eczema (or infantile eczema) with symptoms that range from severe to mild. It can appear on any part of the body and will look like a dry scaly rash that is sometimes red and inflamed, and in severe cases it may even bleed. And just like for adults, the eczema can be extremely itchy and irritating. As a mother I know that when I see my baby uncomfortable or in pain all I want to do is take it away, so this article will show you some soothing gentle remedies that you can try and home including making your own baby eczema cream.
However first thing to do is make sure that the home is clear of anything that may be irritating your babies skin. That could include certain soaps used to bathe your child or detergents used to in the laundry to wash their clothes. Dust and pet hair is also a known irritant so make sure to keep the area around your baby clean and well aired.
Dress your baby in natural fabrics such as cotton which allow the skin to breathe and also make sure you use soft cotton linens on his or her bed.
To relieve any itching get some oats (porridge or steel cut oats are fine) and place them in a square of fabric or old stocking that will allow the oat milk to run out. Tie it at the top or place an elastic band around it so that the oats can’t fall out. Run a lukewarm bath for your child and place the oats in the bath so that oat milk goes into the water. This is very gentle and very soothing for your baby and will help immeasurably with the itching and dryness.
You can make a lotion with pure almond oil to which you have added some vitamin E. Buy Vitamin E capsules at your local health shop and use a pin to prick open one of the capsules to add to the almond oil. Gently use that mixture on your babies’ dry/inflamed areas. You can also add some oats to the mixture to thicken it up and apply it like a cream (it can be messy but it’s very effective). If you don’t like the large lumps of oatmeal I’ve found it very effective to grind up the oats in a coffee grinder before adding it to the almond oil lotion.
