Educating others about your child's food allergy is always the first step. Contact parents before parties and playdates to review what foods will be served. Let them know how to recognize a reaction, and make sure they have your phone number in case of an emergency. Remember, though, that the burden of keeping your child safe rests squarely on your shoulders. Always send in a safe snack your child can enjoy if he/she is allergic to the cake or other foods. Always have your child wear a medical id bracelet and carry an EpiPen® (see products for stylish EpiPen® carriers) and review with your child the foods she can or cannot eat. Explain to her how to ask for help, if necessary. Finally, teach your child to save any foods that she's not certain is safe. When she gets home, she can trade the food for a treat from home.
