Fear my infant daughter might be developing allergies to the dogs...help

[iluvterriers]

I think you're experiencing a case of the "New Mommy Worries". Don't worry - I think all new moms have been there to some degree, and it will pass with no lasting side effects.

Relax!!!

Sadly one of my biggest fears is my child developing allergies to dogs, I can't imagine living in a home without dogs in it. (Though I would if it was in the best interest of my daughter)

but I suspect you are right

My neice had this as a baby... they used Aquaphor on her cheeks and it eventually cleared up. She's 2 now and no sign of it! =)

My son has some of the most sensitive skin of any one I know! Heat, grass, sand, too much wind, etc. He has NO allergies to anything...but, he is super sensitive to things. I do use aquafor...but, at that age, it was only on his bottom. I don't think I would put anything on those other 'cheeks' yet, LOL.

Don't get your knickers in a twist over things that haven't actually happened (and may not) - you have enough to contend with as it is without the "what ifs" and "maybes"
