My wife has discovered she is allergic to our two boys but we don't want to part with them? Does anyone have any tips thanks in advance
You didn't say if her issue was an airborne allergy affecting her breathing or a contact allergy affecting her skin? I have mostly contact allergy (itches & welts), but have had breathing issues when I had many kids.
For contact allergy - always wash your hands immediately after handling or cleaning of course, and as I just said in another post - you can cut the toes out of a pair of long socks to put on your arms, you can cut the shoulders & neck off a turtleneck shirt to slip over your head if they're on your shoulder. That's quicker & easier than changing clothes to cover up, especially in summer..
I also cover my bed with a blanket of their own when they're on it that I can fold down or remove when they're not there (I've had it happen that my hands touch theirs when I sleep, then I touch my eyes and have had horrible itchy swelling), so that fixes that.
For breathing allergy - an air purifier can help, don't have too many at a time, allergy pills if it's bad enough.
Hope your wife can enjoy your little angels without suffering them!
