Pregnancy tips Excema In Babies and Children

One problem I never thought I would have is caring for my daughter's skin. She's had very sensitive skin since I brought her home from the hospital. As a matter of fact, she had already developed a spot on her bottom that was actually broken open. Fortunately, I found some zinc diaper cream and it healed right up, but now she has some patches of excema on her arms and legs. I've read a number of reasons why kids might develop this problem. We live in a very dry climate which can contribute to excema. Also, I noticed anytime I take her swimming, the chlorinated pool seems to make the problem worse. Even bathing her in a tub of warm water seems to irritate her skin.

Here is an article about how food allergies may contribute to excema and how probiotics can help:
