Allergy Facts

Although it is rare for babies to experience seasonal allergies because of higher pollen exposure during their infancy, pollen exposure their mothers receive while the babies are still in the womb may increase their likelihood to develop asthma. A recent Swedish study showed that maternal pollen exposure in the last three months of pregnancy may play a major role in early childhood asthma development.
