Exploring the Eczema & Food Allergy Risk...

KATIE FERRARO
About this episode

#129 Did you know that varying degrees of eczema in your baby can impact food allergy risk? In this episode dermatologist, BLW and food allergy mom Rebecca Hartman, MD, MPH is joining me to talk about how eczema and food allergy risk are linked.

 

Dr. Hartman is part of the Evereden skincare brand’s team of “Moms in Medicine”. She’s helps co-create formulas and in this episode is also breaking down what ingredients you want to look for when selecting skincare (...and what to skip) because what you put ON your baby’s body is just as important as what you put IN it.
