What a parent should know about eczema and a baby’s immune system
Episode 56
Tuesday, 23 June, 2026

Every parent wants to protect their baby — but what if the window to prevent lifelong allergies is smaller than anyone realized? Scientists have discovered that a newborn's immune system doesn't just work differently from an adult's; it's actually wired to overreact in ways that can set the stage for eczema and allergies before you even know it's happening. The culprit? A hormone, missing in babies, that keeps the immune system in check.In this episode, Dr. Shruti Naik reveals what's really going on beneath your baby's skin, and what it could mean for the future of allergy prevention.
