#DreftSpring Giveaway

This post and giveaway were made possible by iConnect and Dreft. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.

Ah, spring, that wonderful season that brings warmer weather, fresh flowers, and tons of allergens! As we spend more time outside, these allergens can trigger skin irritations, especially for little ones. Cleaning their clothes and bedding with the right products is a great way to help keep them comfortable during this challenging season. (Sensitive skin requires special products, after all.)

My favorite product line to use is Dreft. I love that Dreft works closely with pediatricians, ensuring their products will actually work. One of these pediatricians is Dr. Dyan Hes. As a mom and a doctor, she certainly knows what baby needs and has some awesome tips:

Choose the right fabrics & care for them properly: When it comes to fabrics, it’s extremely important to seek out gentle and hypoallergenic items to care for the items that touch baby’s sensitive skin. It’s also essential that fabrics be cared for properly. Wash baby’s items with a specially-formulated product such as Dreft, the #1 baby laundry detergent choice of pediatricians to be gentle and hypoallergenic on baby’s skin. Trusted for over 80 years, Dreft comes with a babyhood scent beloved by moms, and it remains safe and hypoallergenic for baby.

Protect Problem Skin: Heat is a common trigger for eczema and as the weather warms up, there are a few things you can do to help prevent flare ups of such skin irritations. The sun is strongest between the hours of 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. so try to shield baby from direct sun exposure during those times. There are also apps available that can inform you of the hottest part of the day—which can be helpful for parents as they plan any outings with their little ones!

Dr. Hes (@gramercypeds) and @Dreft will be sharing more tips on May 9th from 9:00 -10:00 pm EST at a Twitter party. RSVP here and you’ll be eligible to win fantastic prizes!
