However, Jill explained in the caption that she was dealing with a newly revealed dust allergy son Sam has. She asked others to give their input in the comments.

JILL ADAPTS TO HER SON'S ALLERGIES
For her part, Jill was told by an allergist that the stuffed animal toys her son plays with could be contributing to his discomfort. As a result, she's going to wash bedding and vacuum more often.
As shown in the picture, the reality star was also instructed to "freeze anything tough to wash at least once a month for 48-72 hours." It appears Jill got on it right away.
FANS GIVE OTHER IDEAS
The photo shows a ton of what the 28-year-old called "stuffies" placed into a large fridge in green and blue bags. Jill explained that she already bags the toys regularly to get rid of moisture.
In the comment section, one person also suggested that she purchase a special vacuum, which is expensive but strongly helps with her situation. Someone else said it was best to do away with her carpet.
SHOPPING FOR THERAPY
If Jill is feeling stressed about her son's allergies, perhaps she might consider buying herself another tree. Last week, Jill made a rare emotional purchase when she went shopping.
For the first time since the coronavirus pandemic caused lockdowns, the star went shopping by herself. She came back with a tree which she said was "therapeutic & satisfying" to get.
JILL GETS A HAIRCUT
Something else that made Jill emotionally and physically lighter was the haircut she got back in December 2019. Because of how she was raised, she usually only gets a trim.
However, Jill decided to remove two to three years' worth of hair and donate it to be made into wigs for children who lost their hair. Plus, the weight of her hair was causing headaches.
FANS REACT TO HER NEW 'DO
Jill did a video documenting the process. In it, she revealed it was the first time that she'd gotten more than about six inches removed. Husband Derick Dillard thought she looked cute afterward.
When fans saw the results posted on Instagram, several of them complimented Jill on the new, much shorter look. "Beautiful... now you have a modern look," said one person. We quite agree.
