While many of us are relieved the dry winters are ending, many moms are beginning to worry about the eczema flareups coming in the summer.
The summer heat can lead to sweating and worsen eczema in little ones. We've rounded up 7 tips on how to prevent eczema flareups in babies and kids!
Tip #1 Soak up the sweat
Help your baby stay dry throughout the day and wipe away excess sweat. We highly recommend washcloths which can be easily stored in diaper bags, strollers, and cars for on the go use!

Sun protection and staying out of direct sunlight are key. Always remember a hat and sunglass to protect your little one's head and prevent seasonal eczema.
Tip #7 Moisturize again
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! If your child has eczema on hands or areas that are frequently washed, remember to moisturize immediately after.
