Christmas Awareness

Did you know that real Christmas treat can trigger allergies or asthma? Your baby may react to the  mould spores that Christmas trees filter into the air and the pollen.

Ways to reduce reactions:

• Only bring the tree in when necessary ie  leave it outside until Christmas eve or even better Christmas day. 
• Make sure you spray the tree down and wait for it to dry before bringing it into the home.
• Cleanse the tree and stand.
• Change the trees water every 3 - 4 days.

Being a parent and experiencing a reaction from a certain type of tree may be beneficial to choose a different type, you may find that you feel some sort of irritation from a tree inside when you have never experienced any irritation outside, this is because the pollen and mould spores are being released into the air and picked up by the wind and filtered away.

If you like to use other natural decorations, such as boughs or wreaths, make sure that you take the same care with them as you do with your Christmas tree. Mould spores love damp evergreens, so you will need to spray water on anything you bring indoors and shake it dry before hanging it up. 

Artificial trees and decorations are safer all round for babies, toddlers and pregnant women as there is no needles left around the home for the toddles to pick up, there is no pollution of the air and they are light, easier and cleaner for pregnant women.
