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.
I’m so excited that Spring is here and Summer is right around the corner. Now my family can be outside more enjoying the beautiful weather. We all love to be outside when it’s nice out. We find a lot of things to do when the weather is nice. The only thing that isn’t very fun that comes along with nicer weather, is allergies. Those can be very difficult to deal with at times. Those that have allergies could trigger skin irritations with some children. It’s important that we be careful about this with our kids.
This often means making sure to provide our kids with the best products to help them out when the allergies do hit. Most of us look for products that are gentle on baby’s sensitive skin. Dreft is one of those products that are very gentle on baby’s skin. Dreft is the No. 1 baby laundry detergent choice of pediatricians to be gentle and hypoallergenic on baby’s skin.
Dr. Hes has some tips for protecting baby’s sensitive skin during Spring allergy season. I’m going to share with you two of the tips she has.
Load up on liquids: Staying hydrated during the spring months is important as baby gets more active outdoor time and sun exposure. Start with the inside and ensure children get enough to drink throughout the day. Infants should nurse or take a bottle often; older kids should tote a sippy cup or reusable water bottle. Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and smoothies in your child’s diet too.
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 a.m. – 4 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!
Those are just a couple of her tips, and she’s got many more. There will be a Twitter party where you can join @Dreft and @gramercypeds on May 9th from 9-10 EST as they host the Twitter party with pediatrician and mom, Dr. Dyan Hes. She will be sharing more of her tips to ensure that your baby is protected and comfortable during the Spring allergy season. Make sure to RSVP HERE so that you can be entered to win some of the many great prizes.

My daughter has eczema and we use Dreft all the time on her clothes.
I’m glad to hear this worked well for her too.
Dreft is the only brand of detergent I used when my boys were babies!
That’s great to hear! I was the same way.
What a great giveaway! I haven’t tried Dreft but, checking them out now.
It’s such a great brand! One of my favorites for babies clothing.
I have strong fragrance allergies and Dreft works wonders on my clothes- I recommend it to all my new mom friends!
I’m glad to hear that! It has an amazing scent too.
I never use Dreft when my son was little, I used a different detergent they did not have any harsh chemicals in it. My sister-in-law uses this brand and it works the best for her son who has very sensitive skin.
It is great for those with sensitive skin. I love the scent too. It smells really good.
I actually washed all my own clothes and the baby’s clothes in Dreft. I figured I was holding my baby up against my clothes all the time so they better be good for his skin also. Dreft does a great job!
It sure does! I love using it because it smells so good too!
my friend uses this brand and once she started this is theonly one she uses for her daughter.
That’s great to hear! This is such a great brand.
Dreft really does make the best smelling stuff! I love how soft their products make my kid’s clothes too!
They sure do! I love all their products.
Dreft is all I used when my kids were little. We even used it for my grandson!
That’s great to hear! I love hearing about so many using these products.
Oh my goodness, I found out when my little was two that she had really sensitive skin due to eczema. Dreft was a GODSEND! LOL… It really did work well
I’m so glad to hear it worked for you! My youngest has eczema as well, so I know how that goes.
I know these are for babies, but I really do like using them on my own clothes!
I say they’re great for anyone. I use them just because it smells so good!
I love Dreft!! Even though my kids are older I love how this smells on our bedding!
I agree! I love the smell!
We love draft for our little ones clothes. He loves the way they smell and how they feel when they come out too, so its a win!
That’s so great to hear! I really love the smell too!
Dreft is awesome and have used it many times for my kids. Thanks for the opportunity to win
You’re welcome and good luck! I’m glad you love using this product too.
I think Dreft would be really good to try for my son because he has really sensitive skin.
I’m sure this would work great for him then!
I love Dreft! Smells SO amazing! In fact I used it yesterday!
Great to hear! I’m glad you love the products too!
I’m super excited for Summer too! I don’t have babies, but I definitely use baby detergent on my delicates because it’s less harsh on more sensitive areas.
I’m glad to hear that. I think it’s a great brand for everyone!
Dreft is the only brand of choice I trust. My niece has eczema and these were great tips you shared.
I’m glad to hear you like this brand too. My youngest has eczema, so I know how your niece feels. It can be a terrible thing to deal with.
I have never heard of this brand before. It sounds like it works great. I will have to see if it is available in my area.
I’m surprised you haven’t heard of them. They’re an amazing brand!
This is a great product. It is perfect for people with sensitive skin.
I completely agree!
Dreft products are kind of timeless aren’t they? Moms have swore by them for years.
Yes they sure are!
Deft detergent has been around forever. I like to use it on my hand knitted items to keep them in good condition.
It certainly has been around for a long time. I’m glad you use it too!
I loved the smell of Dreft but I found it a pain to wash just baby clothes. I would use Dreft or a free n clear detergent. Then I washed everything together.
I used it for all our clothes as well. I love the smell too!
I thought everyone used Dreft with babies. I do have a kid with allergies and I think I might need to reconsider going back to the brand i trusted!
Right! I’m surprised to hear some haven’t tried it yet. It is a great brand.
Great giveaway! This is a really great brand that works very well.
It does work very well. I love this brand.
This is such a great choice for the little one’s clothes. The twitter party sounds great!
It sure does! I hope you’ll be attending.
What a wonderful giveaway! Dreft is one of my choice it’s really awesome.
I’m glad to hear that. I hope you entered! It is a great giveaway!
Dreft is a great brand. I used this when my kids were babies.
I’m glad to hear that! We love the brand too!
I always at least recommend that parents wash their babies clothes in Dreft before baby arrives. You never know if you baby will be born with sensitive skin or eczema and it’s always good to be prepared when possible.
I completely agree! My youngest ended up with eczema at about 3 months. I always used Dreft.
You really hit home with me on this one. I’ve been suffering from eczema since I was a little girl and it’s hard to find products that won’t cause flare ups. Definitely need to check out Dreft’s product offerings now that you’ve mentioned them!

My youngest daughter suffers too. I can only imagine how it goes for you too. It’s hard to deal with my girl going through it.
We haven’t try dreft yet but it looks great to try and to use
It is great! I love this brand.
I’m not sure if I have used Dreft in the past or not, but I know it’s a go-to brand for many! Even though I know it was primarily made for babies in mind, I could probably benefit from this brand since I have very sensitive skin. – HilLesha
Yes, I think it’s made for everyone. I’ve used in for my clothes too. I love the smell!
Sounds like a great brand! I’ve never tried this brand, but I think this is the brand that my friend who has a baby is using.
This is a great brand! I’m surprised to hear you haven’t tried them. They’re amazing!
We’ll definitely have to check this out before our baby comes in July. It wasn’t something I had thought about.
It’s a great brand for babies clothing. I love it!
Would love to win this prize pack – Thanks for the chance!
You’re welcome and good luck!
I used Dreft when my kids were babies. I loved the way it smelled, and how soft it made their clothes. Great giveaway!
I absolutely love the smell as well. It’s great!
I have used Dreft for years, it is a quality product.
I’m glad to hear that. It is a wonderful brand.
My daughter has eczema so Dreft is the only detergent that I used with her clothing! It works great too & doesn’t irritate her skin!
I’m glad to hear it works for her too!
