If you are an eczema sufferer, you probably dread seeing your child experience the same pain and discomfort. It may be possible to save your child from the pain and discomfort of eczema. If your infant has already had an occurrence of eczema or if there is a strong genetic tendency towards eczema, there are steps you can take to prevent their eczema. Scientists who have been studying how to cure eczema have learned that delaying the introduction of solid foods can significantly reduce a childâ??s chances of getting eczema. These scientists recommend solid food not be introduced until the child is at least 6 months old or later. They also suggest that a child be at least 1 year old before any known allergens, such as fruits and nuts, are introduced. Solid foods should also be introduced individually and slowly to better identify any food allergies your child may have.
