One Thing To Do LESS Often If Your Kid Has Eczema

Got a kid with eczema? Bathe him less often!

Bathing in warm water dries a kid's skin out, which tends to make eczema worse. Babies and children don't necessarily need to be bathed daily, so there's no real medical reason to do this. This is bonus good news for moms, I think: one less task to squeeze into the bedtime routine.  

Kim Foster, MD, is a family doctor, writer and mom. She is passionate about healthy living and preventive health. That passion notably includes chocolate. And Pinot Noir.

As a mother, Dr. Kim knows how hard it is to make healthy choices…when ordering takeout is just so damn easy. She is dedicated to helping moms find that sweet spot between positive lifestyle habits and the little indulgences that make life pleasurable.

Dr. Kim knows that not everything works for everybody. And don’t stress over “perfect”. Balance is a nice ideal but, really, only critical when crossing a room in four-inch heels.
