Rashes on the face of a baby are a common cause of concern for young mothers. Sometimes newborns develop small red spots, concentrated on the face and upper body. This phenomenon is observed in most babies aged about three weeks.
The main reason that rashes appear on the face of the baby is the elimination of hormones that got into the baby’s body during pregnancy. During this period, the child’s body receives full independence and autonomy. This process is accompanied by hormonal bursts, which provoke the appearance of a rash. If the reason is really this, then the rashes on the face of the baby should go away on their own in three weeks. At the same time, it makes no sense to torment a young mother with diets, as many who take such a rash for diathesis advise. With any nutrition of the mother, she should go to a month and a half. Another very important aspect is accuracy. Rashes on the face of a baby cannot be removed with tampons, because as a result, an infection can enter the wound and spread throughout the body. This is very dangerous for the baby.
Regarding the connection between mother’s nutrition and allergic manifestations on the child’s body, many still have a biased opinion. In fact, the condition of the child is more influenced by the microclimate in the room where the baby is kept. His skin is very vulnerable and sensitive to external influences. A rash on the face of a baby can appear as a result of contact with irritating objects, such as baby cosmetics, powder and rinse aid, cosmetics for adults. It is necessary to identify and remove such irritants from the child.
Breast milk causes allergies much less often than mixtures.
They contain 20% of substances that are potential allergens. The newborn’s immune system is far from perfect. In its immature form, it is formed only by six months. Until that age, breast milk is necessary for the baby as the main protection against diseases and allergies. Thanks to milk, the baby is reliably protected from the harmful effects of external factors.
If all potentially dangerous factors are already excluded, but the rash on the face of the baby does not go away, then, probably, it is still a matter of feeding the mother. First of all, pay attention to the protein of cow's milk.
For newborns, this is a very strong allergen, even if only the mother consumes it. It is better to exclude it from the diet if the child has signs of a rash.
In second place for harmfulness to the child are nutritional supplements. Fillers, dyes, preservatives - all this can cause a rash in newborns on the face. Vitamin complexes, fluorine, iron, and various herbal remedies can also provoke allergies.
Do not abuse vegetables and fruits with red peels. Cherries and tomatoes, as well as citrus fruits, can lead to a rash on a child’s face. But red apples are completely safe, especially if you use them without a peel. Allergies to rice, buckwheat, and corn are also possible.
