The best advice I ever had #2 Avoiding Eczema

I am continuing my series on good advice that has helped me as a mother of young children. When starting solid foods, I had no idea how intentional I needed to be. I read to add one food item at a time and wait a few days for reactions. I found several food allergies in my first daughter that way. She has an eczema reaction to strawberries, peaches and squash to name a few. Besides being heartbroken about all of the good food she would miss out on as a baby. I was very happy to know the cause. I did not have give her medicine to treat eczema. We found the cause, great healthy food that dear old Mom was giving her.

I always feel so sad when parents have not looked at their child's diet and there is a bad case eczema present. I cringe to think of how many kids get topical steroids when they just need to avoid dairy or even strawberries.
