2. Your infant should be wearing breathable fabrics that do not aggravate the skin. Avoid dressing your infant in wool and other fabrics with short, spiky fabrics. Cotton is a good choice because it has longer fibers and allows the skin to breath.  Furthermore, you should avoid wool and other aggravating fabrics when holding your infant, this can cause irritation to your baby’s skin.

3. Avoid scented soaps and detergents. This can irritate your baby’s eczema. Choose unscented detergents and soaps with emollient rich cleaners.

4. Bathing your infant properly will alleviate some eczema symptoms.Your baby is less likely to itch if they are soaking in bath water because they are absorbing the moisture and relieving dry skin.  Moisturize your infant’s skin while it is still damp from the water and give your child oatmeal baths instead of using abrasive soaps and other aggravating chemicals.
