Baby Dust Mite Allergy

Allergies are one of the biggest contributors to lack of sleep. They can cause your baby discomfort throughout the night resulting in your baby waking often.

If your baby wakes up groggy, or with a running or blocked nose, then your baby may be allergic to dust mites or the enzymes released in their droppings.

The best treatment is avoidance of dust mites. Try our top tips for turning your baby’s bedroom into a dust mite free zone:

• Keep your baby’s bed and bedroom as clean and hygienic as possible.
• Dust mites love warm, moist climates so reduce humidity in your baby’s bedroom by allowing lots of dry air to pass through it.
• Your baby’s comforter and stuffed toys can be ideal breeding grounds for dust mites. Be sure to wash your baby’s comforter and stuffed toys in hot water once per week.
