Rashes on the face of a baby are a common cause of concern for young mothers. Sometimes newborns have small red spots that are concentrated on the face and upper body. This phenomenon occurs in most babies around three weeks of age.
The main reason why rashes appear on the face of a baby is the excretion of hormones that entered the baby's body during pregnancy. During this period, the child's body receives complete independence and autonomy. This process is accompanied by hormonal surges, which provoke the appearance of a rash. If this is indeed the reason, 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 people who take such a rash for diathesis advise. With any nutrition of the mother, she should pass by one and a half months. Another very important aspect is accuracy. Rashes on the face of a baby cannot be removed with tampons, because inAs a result, an infection can enter the wound and spread throughout the body. It is very dangerous for a baby.
About the connection between mother's nutrition and allergic manifestations on the child's body, many still have a preconceived notion. 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 children's cosmetics, powders and fabric softeners, cosmetics for adults. It is necessary to identify and remove such irritants from the child.
Breastmilk is much less likely to cause allergies than formula.
They contain 20% of substances that are potential allergens. The immune system of a newborn is far from perfect. In immature form, it is formed only by six months. Until that age, breast milk is necessary for the child 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 have already been ruled out, but the rash on the face of the baby does not go away, then it is probably still in the mother's diet. First of all, you should pay attention to cow's milk protein.
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 inharmfulness to the child are nutritional supplements. Fillers, dyes, preservatives - all this can cause a rash in newborns to appear on the face. Also, allergies can be provoked by vitamin complexes, fluorine, iron and various herbal remedies. Do not abuse red-skinned vegetables and fruits. Cherries and tomatoes, as well as citrus fruits, can lead to a rash on the face of a child. But red apples are completely safe, especially if you use them without peel. It is also possible to be allergic to rice, buckwheat and corn.
