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.
I use natural, non-perfumed products.
We try to only use natural products on our baby’s skin!
We use coconut oil as a moisturizer for our kids. We also love Seventh Generation products and use them frequently in our house!
Seventh Generation products are the best for me and my whole family.
I love and trust Seventh Generation products to be safe for my kids and family. I especially love their diaper cream, laundry detergent, and dish soap. They are staples at home!
Love Seventh Generation products!
Poor baby! I have eczema myself and it sucks!
We love seventh generation in our house!

I myself have a son who has had severe eczema since birth. It is heart breaking to see your child suffer and be so itchy they cannot sleep. Our son is now 6 but still has flare ups and we have to be incredibly diligent about what he eats and the things which touch his skin. Having some Seventh Generation products would be so helpful for my son and our entire family. I also have a 10 month old who shows some signs of eczema as well. I will do and try anything to help my babies!
She is so adorable! It had to be tough trying to find out what was irritating her skin.
Love Seventh Generation detergent.
Love seventh generation products already!
