Hi L, |
I gave my son scrambled eggs at 9 months and he broke out in hives, nothing terrible but definately had a reaction. What are your suggestions for reintroducing them now that he's turned one? (also, probably a stupid question, but he's obviously not allergic to eggs baked into things as he's has tried all sorts of food containing eggs, what's the difference?)

Hi Caitlin, |
My son- now 2.5- had a milk and soy protein intolerance in infancy and I had to go on an elimination diet in order to keep nursing. I tried to be proactive with my daughter and started an elimination diet a month before she was born, but I’m paranoid- at 3 weeks she is having mucus poops and is starting to be a really restless sleeper already! Is there something else I should cut out?

Hi Megan, |
Hi, my nieces are both allergic to eggs, nuts and dairy. I'd like to have some safe, go-to, pantry snacks on hand for them. What do you recommend. Also, what are the best food storage containers to use if you're worried about allergen cross-contamination...
