We did leave the humidifier in the room but we cleaned after the last bout and haven't used it since. I took a look at it and it was still clean. As for the bedding, we change that on a regular basis.

Eliminate the variables here. It may be a mold alergy to something in the room vent. It could be something on his bed etc.

We are saving the sleeping with us thing as a last resort only because we think he will not want to go back into his crib. If it was something in the vent or bed, I think the hives would show up more often

He has been off pacifiers for quite a while now and they have all be put away. We also threw out all of the latex ones as they were becoming worn.

We vacuum twice a week out of necessity as it is. We have a yellow lab who is shedding right now. Before anyone suggests that it is the dog, we already looked into that. He is in constant contact with something dog related so the frequency of the hives doesn't corrolate.
We really think it has something to do with the temperature changes or being warm. He has always been a warm kid. He almost never wants to use a blanket and will kick it off within an hour. The last bout of hives occurred during a couple of nights were the temperature changed rapidly over an hour or two so it is very possible he got too warm.
