Could a simple change in Baby's first bath prevent eczema?
NCT ID NCT07333378
Summary
This study is testing whether leaving a newborn's natural waxy skin coating, called vernix, on after birth can help prevent eczema (atopic dermatitis) during the baby's first year. Over 1,300 mother-baby pairs will be randomly assigned to either delay the baby's first bath to let the vernix dry naturally or have it removed shortly after birth as is standard practice. Researchers will follow the babies for 12 months to see if this simple, natural approach reduces the chance of developing eczema and improves overall skin health.
