Risk of allergies

Risk of allergies

Allergies have increased worryingly among children in recent years. A major trigger is pollution. Repeated exposure to dust, mould, smoke, etc, favours the development of allergies.
The prevention measures listed below help to decrease the risk of allergies in children, that's why we are careful to:
  • Do not expose your child to cigarette smoke
  • Vacuum and air the room often
  • Clean the air conditioning filters periodically, according to the manufacturer's instructions
  • Bathroom to be properly ventilated
  • We use detergents, creams, shower gel, shampoo only from the children's range
  • We do not use perfumes and other substances that are not suitable for children
  •  We avoid wearing make-up (foundation, powder or lipstick) when we hold the baby in our arms, on our cheek or when we kiss him or her
  • We have short, neat, clean nails. Long nails can hurt your baby, and there are lots of germs under the nails
  • Avoid large jewellery with stones. They generally harbour a lot of germs, and massive bracelets or rings can hurt your baby.
  • We follow our paediatrician's advice, ask him or her and inform ourselves preventively on how to act in case of allergies in children.
