Did you know? Your baby’s skin can play a role in whether they develop a food allergy! Even before your baby is introduced to solids and new foods, they can still still come into direct contact with food allergens through their skin. If this happens regularly, it may increase their chances of developing an allergy to that particular food.

Studies show that while eating an allergen early can protect your baby from that food allergy, but if that same food touches their skin regularly, it can actually raise the risk of an allergy.

So how can you do to help protect your baby’s skin? We suggest: Wash your hands after eating, especially if the food you ate is a common allergen. Then wash your hands again before touching your baby’s skin, such as during diaper changes or when putting on lotions or creams.

Getting started with WIC is worth it! Hear from a mom in Washington about why WIC is important to her family! 💞

“WIC matters to my family because it helps us get the nutrients we need for our meals. As a new family of 3, it helped us have a well-balanced diet. It also helped us not indulge in unhealthy foods. It helped us to get the proper foods we need over the past year for our son. This included formula, baby food, produce, any and all food from each stage of our son’s eating journey! Our family really enjoys WIC!”

- WIC mom from Washington and member of the Swinomish Tribe
