As the weather starts to warm up and flowers are blooming, we may notice our little ones experiencing some discomfort. Sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes may be signs of hay fever, a common allergy that affects people of all ages, including babies.
Hay fever is one of the most common allergies in children and it’s important to recognise the symptoms so you can help ease your little one’s discomfort.
Symptoms of hay fever in babies can include:
- Frequent sneezing especially when outside
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Itchy ears, throat, and/or mouth
- Irritability
If you suspect your baby is experiencing hay fever symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice to rule out any other underlying conditions.
Don’t worry though, if diagnosed with hay fever, there are several things you can do that can help alleviate your baby’s discomfort, including:
- Keeping windows and doors closed to reduce exposure to pollen
- Washing your baby’s clothes and bedding frequently to remove allergens
- Using saline drops or spray to help clear your baby’s nasal passages
- Keeping your baby indoors during peak pollen times, typically early morning and late afternoon.
- Give pets who’ve been outside a quick clean to get rid of pollen in their fur
Using our biodegradable Nose Nuzzles wipes can also be a gentle and eco-friendly solution for your baby’s sensitive runny nose. Our super soft nose wipes are made with gentle plant-derived ingredients and are free of harsh chemicals that can irritate your baby’s delicate skin.
It’s important to remember that hay fever in babies can be uncomfortable, but it is generally not a serious condition. With the right treatment and care, your baby can still enjoy the beautiful weather without being bogged down by hay fever symptoms. We hope this blog post has been helpful and informative for you as a parent. Hang in there, and here’s to a happy and healthy spring and summer for you and your little ones!
