Telling Food Allergies from False Alarms

I’m posting a link to the AllergyKids blog that contains some really interesting and useful information about food additives:

Step 1: Cleaning Out Your Kids! (as seen on Good Morning America) 

I love this article:

Scorpions for Breakfast and Snails for Dinner 

I couple of weeks ago, my sister-in-law Aimee was feeding Ronan (17 months old) dinner for me while I was on my way home from the airport. We thought I’d be home earlier, so there really was no plan for what she should feed him. She happened to find some frozen Happy Baby food in the freezer and decided to defrost some of that for him. When she mentioned to me over the phone that that’s what she was going to give him, I offhandedly said that he probably wouldn’t like it (it’s been a very long time since I fed him pureed food like that). But of course she could definitely try.

Well, when I got home, this is the story I heard from Aimee…

When I was feeding Ronan the food, he was absolutely devouring it. I thought it was interesting how much he was loving it because you had said to me on the phone that he probably wouldn’t go for it. So, I happened to mention to Lucie (4 years old) how much Ronan was liking the food.

And Lucie said:

That’s because I put sugar in it! 

Moral of the story? Don’t turn your back on a 4-year-old who’s “cooking.”

Come join me on Wednesday, March 19th from 7:00 – 9:30pm at Families First in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn for a group seminar of the Small Bites class, Feeding Your Toddler (1 – 3 years).

If you are interested in attending this class, contact Families First to register in advance at 718-237-1862.

I think that buying your kids food-related toys is a fun way to get them interested in and learning about a variety of different foods. But truffles? I recently came across the Truffle Snuffle from HABA. I truly think this might be the wackiest children’s toy I’ve ever seen. I’m not opposed to it, of course, I just think it’s hysterical.

Come join us this coming Saturday, January 19th from 10:00 – 11:30am ET for a telephonic group seminar of the Small Bites class, Feeding Your Baby (4 months – 1 year).

Our telephonic group seminars offer you the chance to gain all of the valuable information a Small Bites group class has to offer as well as experience the input of other parents like yourself. You don’t have to live in New York City to take advantage of the low price – just $25 – of a group class.

If you are interested in joining us this coming Saturday morning for the Feeding Your Baby seminar, please email erin@smallbitesonline.com and let us know you would like to register.
