Eczema 7

Breast-feeding prevents eczema in babies. Women who breast-feed their babies are fortunate, as breast milk has been shown to be extremely effective in controlling the onset of eczema. In fact studies have proven that in some babies, six months of breastfeeding can actually prevent eczema from starting in the first place.
New mother who choose not to breast-feed but instead feed their babies a formula made from cows’ milk might do well to consider using a hypoallergenic milk formula such as a soy formula as opposed to a traditional type of formula.
