How can atopic dermatitis be prevented?

My advice:: (1) deliver baby vaginally (2) live on a farm (3) don't live within 500 yards of a street with heavy truck (diesel exhaust) traffic (4) breast feed for about one year (5) supplement with cow's milk formula from day 1 and don't stop (6) have baby sleep on a vinyl crib mattress to decrease dust mite exposure (7) have dogs & cats (8) don't smoke (9) add solids at 6 months (10) give probiotics & vit d.

Protect: Avoid things that make you break out, soaps & wetness. Wash your hands only when necessary. Wear gloves when needed. Wear clothes made of cotton. Bathe only with a small amount of mild unscented soap, such as dove. Keep the water temperature cool or warm, not hot. Use the medicine your doctor gave you. Use a plain moisturizer daily. Avoid scratching or rubbing the itchy area. Manage stress.
