The specific pathogenesis of allergy is still under research, and in layman’s terms, it is an abnormal reaction to something normal. There is an age range for this reaction. The younger the baby, the easier it is to develop allergies to allergenic foods. As they get older and are exposed to more things, the allergies become more complex. And at different ages, allergies manifest themselves differently in the body. For example, in infancy, the manifestations may be food allergies and eczema, slowly developing hives and then asthma as they get older ~ and then allergic rhinitis and so on as they get older. Because allergies are incurable, prevention of allergies is better than cure. That being the case, what should be done during the infant and toddler stages? First of all, parents should know if their baby has allergies. When an allergic baby is just a few days old, a red rash called neonatal erythema toxicum often appears on the body, and if one is willing to do a pathological examination, one will find that it is full of eosinophils, which is the earliest manifestation of allergy. As the baby gets older, parents will find that the allergic baby is especially prone to nasal congestion and phlegm in the throat. Around the full moon, many allergic babies develop eczema. Depending on the feeding, eczema manifests itself in varying degrees of severity. If you are sure that your baby is an eczema baby, then you need to pay attention to the follow-up ~ ~ ~ ~ breastfeeding, the most important ah! The first milk, must strive to give the baby breastfeeding. What does mom eat? Try to eat foods that are not easily allergic. Clinical practice shows that meat, vegetables and rice are the least allergic. Apples and bananas are better among fruits. Of course, the most accurate, or allergen test. Because it is difficult for parents to accept tests for babies or mothers, doctors very often give guidance based on experience, which is not always foolproof when put into each child. If the mother really does not have breastmilk or breastmilk is insufficient, it is recommended to use hydrolyzed protein milk powder, a lot of milk powder has anti-allergy, here, do not recommend the brand ha! Self-searching …… Under the joint efforts of parents and babies, at 5-6 months, then add complementary foods. This is also recognized by WHO. Never blindly add complementary food too early just because your baby is allergic to formula, the possible end is that your baby will develop new allergies to the complementary food added too early. In other words, do what you need to do at what age. We clinically add complementary foods basically starting with rice flour, then pureed vegetables (such as carrot pumpkin), pureed fruits (such as banana apple), potatoes (such as potato groundnuts), pasta, meat, leafy vegetables, ten months or even after one year of age and then add egg yolks, after one year of age (the specifics of which depend on the individual) to add whole eggs, after two years of age, to add soybean products, and to try tomatoes and eggplants and cucumbers and other vegetables with seeds. Yam and dates are also allergy-prone foods. Spinach among leafy vegetables should not be eaten daily. Add seafood after the age of three – especially where fresh seafood is not available – with caution. To put it bluntly, try not to eat allergenic foods under the age of two. Uh, except for islanders, who seem to be genetically adapted to seafood 🙂 If your baby is allergic, the manifestation is not always a rash. Nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, salivation, constipation, diarrhea, and even fight with urine, hitting and biting, pulling hair and hitting the head, rolling around, temper tantrums and irrational, timid, afraid of life, easy to get tired, like to cuddle and clinging to people, timid and afraid of the dark (I conclude that the heart is scared of the fear of the heart, the heart is restless, upset, most likely is a sign of damage to the heart muscle), all understand what will not say, nagging repeatedly repeat the words, easy to bump into the same page of the same book over and over again! The baby may be suggesting to the parents: I’m not feeling well! Please help me! If this happens, parents should try to remember if they have eaten anything inappropriate recently or if the baby has any other accompanying symptoms, and then they can seek professional medical help. Having an allergic child at home can be very frustrating for parents, not to mention the physical, mental and financial harm it can cause to both parent and child. “Why is it so hard for me to raise a child?” has become a common refrain. In order for more children to be allergy free and for more parents to have an easier time raising their children, allergy prevention starts from infancy!
