Baby Feeding Tips
8 Things That Food Allergy Parents Want From You
In honor of Food Allergy & Asthma Awareness Week, I’ve invited Brooke to post today sharing her thoughts as a parent of a little daughter with severe food allergies. Feeding Beck is hard enough – I can’t imagine also having to consider allergies. Thank you to Brooke for sharing her tips on how to be considerate to parents of children with food allergies.
I’ve had moms sit beside me in music group saying how sorry they are about my daughter’s food allergies, then pull out a granola bar with nuts and let their child crawl around with it, trailing nut-filled crumbs behind.

So, forgive me for grabbing at my first opportunity, but with Food Allergy & Asthma Awareness Week at hand, I’d love to share with other parents the 8 things that Food Allergy parents want from you.

The mind of a Food Allergy Mom can be a hectic place. When she enters a room, she tries to maintain a look of ease and comfort for her child, be a good listener while greeting her friends, all while surveying the room for potential threats.
Okay, there’s a sippy cup of milk sitting on the floor, a kid with an unidentified brown substance smeared across his face (please, God, don’t let it be peanut butter), crumbs under the table (wheat? Most definitely. Containing egg? Probably.)
Bento Lunch Ideas for Little Foodies
Sometimes, I spend too much time on Pinterest when I could be doing something a little more productive. The upside of it though, is that I get to see lots of trends – from fashion and food to parties and home decor, there is always something that fascinates me. One thing I kept seeing over and over were these cute little lunches called bentos. I had never heard of a bento before, but picture after picture, they had me intrigued. Each time I saw a photo, they were these cute, bright, and organized little lunches. They made me want to get creative in my kitchen!
