Allergy Relief

As many of yall know Hayden and David suffer from horrible allergies. I have been researching ways to help, prevent, and treat allergies in infants and children. The number one thing I read was about investing in a allergy mattress cover. You can find them online through allergy stores. What I love about these is that they are dust mite proof and have a lifetime guarantee. You can wash sheets and bedding in hot water and dry them on high heat. The other thing that doctors frown upon is having stuffed animals in the room because they can collect dust and dust mites. The last thing that can help allergy suffers is investing in a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter. We bought one a few months ago and it works wonders. The filter helps trap all the allergens that are in the carpet. The actually recommend having tile floors to reduce the amount of dust particles in the air. So when we buy a house that will have to be a must. Also one other thing they recommend is having your air conditioning ducts cleaned yearly. I have also switched all my cleaning products to natural and chemical free. David really likes the Clorox brand Simple Green, although some of the products have a funky smell. My favorite thing is the Allergy reducer from Pledge.
