Baby eczema and food: what parents actually need to know


Hello Reader,


Does your baby have eczema… and now you’re second-guessing every bite they take?

Maybe an eczema flare happened after trying a new food, or someone suggested cutting out dairy, or maybe you’re wondering if you caused it.

We've met a lot of parents who wonder:

“Is this a food allergy?”

“Should I stop offering certain foods?”

“Will introducing allergens make it worse?”

“Am I missing something?”

If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen feeling unsure about what to feed your baby with eczema complicating things, you’re not alone.

Eczema and food are often talked about together, but, misunderstanding the difference could result in unnecessary food restrictions, increased stress, and even more confusion.

In our newest blog post, we break down:

  • What eczema actually is
  • The difference between a food allergy and an eczema flare
  • Whether you should avoid certain foods
  • How starting solids works when your baby has eczema
  • What really helps protect your baby’s skin

And no, we're also not doling out medical advice because that's really not our area of expertise (and we wish other influencers understood this!).

And before we officially sign off - we're going to be having a SPRING SALE real soon, so stay tuned for that. It's going to be a massive discount!


In health and happiness,

And here’s why. Somewhere along the line we’ve majorly lost the plot when it comes to snack time. The word ‘snack’ has become synonymous with food that comes in crinkly little packages. Instead, we want to bring it back to its original meaning: a mini meal used to bridge large gaps between main meals....
