Make sure that when you bathe, the water is not too warm because if your baby is having allergies, the heat irritates their skin.
If the food is causing allergies, it will take a few weeks after changing the food for you to see a significant improvement.
An allergy formula might be good for her like Natural Balance allergy formulas (duck & potato or fish & sweet potato) or California Natural because of the limited ingredients. |
Thanks so much for your reply! Yeah, I understand that the food takes a little bit to show improvements, that's why I wanted to make it clear that she's only been on it for a week. She was on the Natural Balance for allergies before this food
and I changed trying to get her on something better AND get her allergy problem fixed.
I definitely keep the water lukewarm, I make sure it's not too warm because I'm afraid of it hurting her so I don't think that's the problem either.
See, when I was at my mom's and used my grandmother's dog shampoo it was "Fresh 'N Clean" or something with oatmeal and baking soda (I think it was BS
).
Thanks for all the great advice though!
