How Do Spring Allergies Affect Babies?

Unlike older children, babies under one year old don’t usually develop true seasonal allergies since their immune systems are still maturing. However, they can still react to airborne irritants like:

🌿 Pollen from trees, grass, and flowers
🏡 Dust and mold spores
🐶 Pet dander from indoor animals

Exposure to these allergens can trigger respiratory issues, skin flare-ups, and digestive discomfort—especially in babies with sensitive tummies or eczema-prone skin.

Signs Your Baby Might Be Reacting to Spring Allergies

🚼 Sneezing, coughing, or a runny nose (without a fever)
🚼 Watery or red eyes
🚼 Dry, itchy skin or eczema flare-ups
🚼 Increased fussiness, especially after outdoor time
🚼 Tummy discomfort, bloating, or colic-like symptoms

If your baby is showing these symptoms, consider reducing exposure to allergens and switching to a gentle, hypoallergenic formula if they have digestion concerns.

Protecting Your Baby from Spring Allergies

✅ Keep Windows Closed – Reduce pollen exposure by using air purifiers and keeping indoor spaces pollen-free.
✅ Wipe Down After Outdoor Time – A quick bath or wipe-down helps remove allergens from your baby’s skin.
✅ Choose a Gentle, Hypoallergenic Formula – If your baby has sensitive digestion or eczema, a hypoallergenic formula may help reduce discomfort.
