A is for Allergies

The change in season can cause allergies to flare up for your toddler or baby. Spending more time indoors can raise sensitivity to common allergy triggers, such as dust mites, animal dander or indoor moulds. Typical allergy symptoms include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing and itchy eyes. As allergy symptoms in children generally flare up before the age of 4 or 5, now is the time to keep an eye on your toddler.

Hi, everyone I am very new to this but just wanted you all to know about the present my friend has just given me - A THERMOMETER yes a thermometer. I am a neurotic mum I admit and I constantly take my babys temperature. I even wake her up!!. However there is light at the end of my tunnel, Sarah has just given me a Syner-Med Veratemp non contact thermometer which apparently reads the temperature of just about everything. Anyway getting back to the point, you literally point the thermometer at the babys forehead and click the button and hey presto an instant reading, which for me is brilliant because the background changes colour depending on whether the temperature is normal - green, slightly high- orange, need to worry - red, and I can take it even when she is asleep. I have gone around the house checking the temperature of everything. This is something that is going to travel everywhere with us. where was this thermometer when she was born. Look it up its great!
