Protect Your Baby From Allergies with 2 Simple Steps
Allergies, What a scary word. When I think of this word I sometimes think of peanut allergies or egg allergies, or allergies caused by dust mites. I have also seen people react to areas that have severe cockroach infestation. I know the cockroaches did not cause the asthma but merely brought out the asthma symptoms.
One of the reasons kids are getting more allergies these days is due to the lack of nutrition on the mother’s part during pregnancy. Some say eating only organic products during pregnancy will help to not pass on allergies to your baby. The only recommendation I would have is to make sure to get your 100 grams of protein each day if you are pregnant.
Okay, so when we are sleeping and we can’t stop sneezing or our eyes are watering like crazy what is going on? Well it is possible we are having an allergic reaction to something in our bedding or in our room somewhere. We all know one of the most common causes of allergies is unclean bedding.
What happens is when we sleep we actually are shedding skin and these teeny, tiny bugs called dust mites feed on our skin. I know its gross but it happens. This “feeding” may cause us to develop a rash during the night. Not only can mites feed on you but if you have a severe cockroach infestation, cockroaches can feebly feed on your baby’s fingernails and eyelashes.
Getting your rash and bites diagnosed by a doctor can sometimes be misleading. I have seen doctors think it is allergies when it is actually bed bug bites. On the other hand I have seen people with bed bugs get diagnosed with a psychotic drug because they didn’t take the time to identify what was causing the reaction.
There are many good ways to help someone who suffers from allergies. For example, if your baby is suffering from allergies you can get them a product from Allersafe. This company makes allergy safe bedding, a baby sleeping bag, and other materials for your baby out of an antifungal and antibacterial material that makes it impossible for the dust mite to survive.
Another step you can do is make sure you are vacuuming with a hepa filter on your vacuum at least once a week. Besides just vacuuming the carpet you also need to be vacuuming the furniture. Since tummy time is so important for your little one keep that carpet free of dust mites.
Knowing that I am not a doctor and am no way giving medical advice, you still want to give your child the best you can offer. These are just a few tips to help protect your child from allergies and from developing allergic reactions to certain types of irritants.
Sometimes you need an organic baby sleeping bag if your baby has sensitive skin. Finding a cute baby sleeping bag pattern can be difficult at times that are still okay for sensitive skin.
