    Since my daughter is 4 months old the current spell of great weather is her first taste of summer ever. However I have noticed that she waters up like mad out in the warm sun...I have her well covered in the shade. This only happens when she is outside in the nice weather....

    has anyone ever heard of babies so young having battles with hayfever??

    we mentioned it to the doc alright and he said she was too young to show any signs of hayfever...so I am putting it down to coincidence and a bit of a cold..but I will check out that hay fever forum anyway. thanks.

    I'm not a doctor but for what its worth the medical books suggest that its not possible to get hayfever until the second season of exposure to the irritant.

    that sounds about the same as what the doc was telling me..a summer cold is what it must have been so...I am a typical first time parent..worrying about everything!

    We had a similar problem with our young fellow. After some carefull thought and analyzing, we realised that it actually might be our hoover. I invested in a HEPA filtration hoover by VAX. Since its come into the house, he hasnt once had a wattery eye since! couldnt believe it. Maybe it wasnt the hoover, but if it keeps happening and u too see a pattern give it a thought!

    Surely a baby wouldn't have had a chance to develop an immune response.
