When your baby explores the world around them and gets into all kinds of shenanigans, it’s common for them to get pretty dirty. Not only that but since they love putting stuff in their mouth, you’ll find that they’ll try to eat things that are absolutely gross, from a pair of shoes to your dog’s chew toy to the floor itself. These are extreme examples, and there’s obviously no question that it’s important to protect our babies from these things—but is there also a benefit to them getting exposed to these things?

Building Antibodies

It’s almost a quirky cliche at this point, but you really can build antibodies by being exposed to unsanitary things. Obviously, we’re not recommending that you should put your baby in harm’s way. The last thing you want is for them to get sick. However, there’s another side to the coin that’s equally detrimental.

Embrace the Dirt

It’s so common nowadays for helicopter parents to overprotect their children from grime and dirt, believing that Purell needs to be rubbed all over every little thing their baby touches. It’s good to feel protective, but you also want your child to grow up with a strong immune system. If you make it a habit of protecting them from every little thing, they may find themselves actually having a harder time coping with those things when they’re older.

It’s never easy when something is seemingly going wrong with your child and you’re unsure what to do. One example of something going amiss is if your child gets rashes, which is actually super common with youngsters. If this is the first time this has happened, there are plenty of things you can do so there’s no need to panic. Here are some things you should consider.

Consulting the Dermatologist

Ultimately, going to the child’s dermatologist is the obvious solution if you feel like something’s going wrong with your kid’s skin. If you’re seeing constant flare-ups, the dermatologist will be able to expertly identify exactly what’s going on, whether it’s eczema or something more mild. In any case, they’ll prescribe the proper medication to fix the issue and you won’t have to worry about it.

Basic Lotions

However, if your baby or child doesn’t break out too often, a dermatologist consultation might not be necessary. If you’re only seeing mild symptoms, and it only happens occasionally, you may be able to treat it with basic lotions or ointments such as Aquaphor, Vaseline, Tubby Todd, or countless others. The good news is that many of these “one size fits all” type lotions can help in a wide variety of scenarios.
