Instructions
Step 1
In newborn babies, diathesis can manifest itself with diaper rash, which does not pass, with sufficient care. Bathe your baby daily in water with the addition of a decoction of chamomile, string or oak bark. After bathing, lubricate the diaper rash with a special baby cream containing zinc oxide or anti-inflammatory substances. Let the baby's skin breathe more often, keep the baby without a diaper, give him air baths.
Step 2
Rash and skin irritation can occur from washing powder. For washing baby clothes, use only special baby powder or soap. Rinse the laundry thoroughly after washing.
Step 3
If the baby is breastfed, then you should reconsider your diet and completely eliminate all allergenic foods until the condition of the baby improves. Be careful about medications used during lactation.
Step 4
If the baby is artificially fed, then he may develop intolerance to cow protein or milk sugar (lactose), which can be expressed by abdominal pain, loose stools with a greenish color or foam. In this case, together with the doctor, it is necessary to select a mixture on soy protein for the baby, and, if necessary, include fermented milk mixtures in the diet.
Step 5
Pay close attention to the recommendations for the introduction of complementary foods. For children who are breastfed, complementary foods are introduced no earlier than 6 months, for babies who are bottle-fed - no earlier than 4, 5 - 5 months. Start complementary foods with vegetables or baby dairy-free and gluten-free cereals. Don't start with red or orange vegetable juices and purees. A new product should be introduced gradually and the reaction should be monitored over several days.
Step 6
In severe cases of manifestations of diathesis, the doctor may prescribe antihistamines and ointments in accordance with the age of the baby and the severity of the manifestation of diathesis.
