Edwina is offering this session for parents navigating the challenges of baby eczema or expecting parents wanting to understand more if eczema is something they are concerned about.

Why Baby Eczema and Gut Health Matter

• Eczema’s complexity: It’s not just a skin issue—it’s often linked to immune system imbalances, environmental triggers, and increasingly, the gut microbiome.
• The gut-skin axis: Research shows that babies with eczema often have less diverse gut microbiomes, and certain bacterial imbalances may precede flare-ups.
• The atopic march: Eczema in infancy can be a precursor to other allergic conditions like asthma and hay fever.

What Parents Are Seeking

• Alternatives to steroids: While steroid creams can be effective short-term, many parents are wary of long-term use due to potential side effects like skin thinning and hormonal disruption.
• Holistic strategies: Families are increasingly interested in nutritional approaches, probiotics, and lifestyle changes that support gut health and immune resilience.
• Empowerment through education: Understanding the root causes and having a toolkit of options can help parents feel more confident and proactive.
