<strong> </strong><strong>Heartburn?</strong>

Heartburns can be part and parcel of these 9 months. If you do suffer from it at some point, try eating smaller but more frequent meals, take sips of water throughout the day instead of drinking a big glass at one go, and avoid greasy and fried food.

<strong>Parenting Tip #1</strong>

<strong> </strong><strong>A matter of allergy</strong>

When baby has an upset stomach, runny nose, rash or is just plain cranky, it could signal an allergic reaction. It's best to check with your doctor to give baby the most effective treatment.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Does baby have a rash or eczema that will not go away, even when you've tried everything including switching laundry detergents? It may be that baby has an allergic reaction to some pesky household pests: dust mites.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="7/12"][vc_column_text]<strong>What are dust mites?</strong>

Invisible to the naked eye, dust mites are creatures that thrive in warm and humid environments; whose favourite food is the flakes of dead skin shed by humans and animals<a href="http://www.webmd.com/allergies/guide/dust-allergies#2" target="_blank" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a>. As unpleasant as it sounds, dust mites are usually not a cause for concern. Nonetheless, for a number of adults and babies, the waste matter they leave behind (mite dust) can trigger a range of allergic reactions such as sneezing, itchy eyes, asthma, and eczema<a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/04/much-ado-about-dust-mites/?_r=0" target="_blank" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a>.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="7/12"][vc_column_text]<strong>How do I get rid of them?</strong>

Try as you may, dust mites cannot be completely eliminated. The most effective way to deal with them is through population control. So, before you give in to the urge to throw out and replace all of baby's clothes and bedding, here are some steps you can take to help keep these microscopic creatures at bay:

<em>Moisture control</em>

Dust mites breed quickest when it is warm and humid. If you haven't already done so, invest in a good air conditioner or dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air within your home.

&nbsp;

<em>Mattress protection</em>

With baby spending a lot of time napping and sleeping, protect baby's mattress from 'invasion' by using dust mite-proof covers. Just remember to wash the covers on a regular basis to keep them clean at all times.

Air out baby's mattress and bedding every day to ensure that they are completely dried out before baby uses them again. Minimise dust by regularly vacuuming the carpets and upholstered furniture. Don't forget the nooks and crannies underneath the sofa cushions!

Apart from using a gentle detergent to regularly wash all of baby's clothing, bedding and stuffed toys, look for a laundry detergent that is infused with properties that remove mite dust as well, such as <strong>Tollyjoy's Anti-Mite Dust Baby Laundry Detergent.</strong> It will not only remove stains and prevent dirt from re-depositing onto baby's clothes; its special formulation will also effectively remove up to 99.9% of mite dust from baby's laundry, keeping it clean and smelling fresh even when dried indoors.

Taking the practical steps above will help create a cleaner and healthier environment for you and your baby. Who knows, in time, baby's eczema might just clear right up!

宝宝的红疹或湿疹现象总是造成困扰？即使你已经尝试各种方法(包括更换清洁剂)问题还是挥之不去？这可能是宝宝对于某些居家害虫产生过敏性反应的现象，那就是尘螨！

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="7/12"][vc_column_text]<strong>什么是尘螨？</strong>

肉眼无法看见的尘螨，是一种适合在高温潮湿环境生存的微生物。它们最喜欢的食物就是人类和动物身上脱落的死皮细胞和皮屑<a href="http://www.webmd.com/allergies/guide/dust-allergies#2" target="_blank" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a>。乍听之下确实令人感到厌烦，但尘螨通常并不会造成太大问题。无论如何，对于部分成人和宝宝而言，这些依靠脱落皮屑等废弃物存活的尘螨，却可能诱发各种过敏性反应，例如：打喷嚏、眼睛发痒、哮喘和湿疹<a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/04/much-ado-about-dust-mites/?_r=0" target="_blank" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a>。

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="7/12"][vc_column_text]<strong>我如何消灭尘螨？</strong>

你可以尝试各种方法，但却无法彻底消灭尘螨。最有效的方法是通过控制尘螨繁衍来改善情况。然而，在你采取迫切行动丢弃或更换宝宝的所有衣物或床褥之前，不妨参考以下这些方法来控制这些讨厌的微生物：

<em>控制湿度</em>

尘螨在高温和潮湿环境中会迅速繁殖。如果你还没有购置这些装备，别忘了投资一台优质空凋或除湿器，以清除居家空气中的多余湿气。

<em>保护床褥</em>

宝宝有大量时间都在休息和睡觉，因此应该使用防尘螨床套保护宝宝的床褥不受“侵害”。记住！定期清洗床套以时刻保持干净整洁。

<em>透气通风及除尘</em>

每天让宝宝的床垫和床具透气通风，确保在宝宝再次使用之前已经完全晾干。定期为地毯和软垫家具吸尘以减少尘螨滋生。另外，别忘了沙发垫角落和隐匿空间。[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="5/12"][vc_column_text]
