When you have a baby you hope and expect that they will come out perfect in every way. You pray that everything you eat and do while your baby is in utero affects them in a positive way. I basically thought about this for 10 long months with each of my three pregnancies. I call these my crazy pants. I strap them on tight and don’t take them off until I’m holding my sweet babies in my arms.
With Kenya and Chloe I never had a day where I worried about them having food allergies as they never showed any signs of sensitives. I offered every food under the sun so they could enjoy a wide variety and they never had any reactions. With Gemma, though, it has been a different story. From the day she was born her skin was irritated and dry from eczema which was inevitably part of her diagnosis.
We went to several allergists, I cut everything from dairy to gluten to sugar out of my diet for 5 long months. We finally discovered one of the causes being an egg allergy, but her eczema still hasn’t totally disappeared. There’s nothing more heart breaking than watching your child itch non stop whenever her clothes are off. Aside from changing my diet so my breastmilk is free of the foods we know are triggers, taking long warm baths and lubing her up with tons of moisturizing creams, there was little we could do to alleviate her pain.
We’ve always been conscious about the products we use in our home, but with anything that touches Gemma’s skin we have to be militant. We’ve always been big fan of the entire line of Seventh Generation products, but now with Gemma in diapers, using wipes on her skin several times a day and touching every surface around our home we’re even more aware. Watch this quick video to get even more ideas on how you can protect your children from pollutants, toxins and irritants and ideas of alleviating some of the possible causes of baby eczema in your home.

This is great. I’ve tried several seventh generation products. I have. 2 year old I would love to win for.
My second child, just over a year old, has been riddled with eczema and a walnut/pecan allergy. We slather him daily but as the winter months kick in, I’m looking for the best ways to lock in moisture for his itchy legs. I look forward to trying the seventh generation lotion. We love the diaps and wipes!
Babyganics products and essential oils. My son would break out from everything. I have sensitive skin too and these products helped us.
I would love to try this. I use a script from the doctor on my son right now.
Seventh Generation products are the best! I have been using them for years. : )
coconut oil!
Love Seventh Generation products. I have been using them since my daughter was born. Thank you!
