Toddler Talk Thursday was created as a place for moms and dads of toddlers to come together over a weekly topic and share ideas, go-to toys, or products. It is a great way to meet other parents of toddlers. Each week the topic will be different; we invite you to link up, share your weekly Toddler Talk!!

Each week the hosts will travel around to each blog to see what topic your suggest for the following week. If we choose your topic – you will be our featured blog.

Keep the GREAT suggestions coming. We have an on-going list we will choose from each week. Some topics are ones we have done in the past – but that doesn’t mean we won’t revisit them!!

In order to qualify for this you need to blog about this week’s topic, and follow the hosts. Please do not link up past posts or non-toddler talk posts.

And the end of your post – suggest a topic for next week.

Comments letting us know you are participating are always great too. If we choose your blog, we will link back to your post the following week.

This week’s featured Blog is Adventures in Abbyland who suggested This Week’s Topic:

Food Allergies

If your child doesn’t have food allergies, what do you to to make yourself aware of others? Do you have questions on how to support parents whose children do?

Squishy has issues with milk.  If he drinks milk or has too much ice cream he has toilet issues. He does fine with yogurt in smaller quantities, and cheese. My pediatrician says this is because the milk protein is different.

We are lucky to not have any children in our playgroup with food allergies, but we do have some mother’s who have Celiac Disease.  We always make sure the gluten free food is labeled and seperate from the other foods.  We all know we can’t even touch gluten food then touch the gluten-free food for issues of cross contamination.

Recently I was at a local play place for children.  I was shocked by the numbers of parents who brought in peanut products.  Did you know that even the smallest amounts of peanuts left on your child’s hands can cause other children with allergies to have extremely severe reactions. (Often times life threatening.)

I think we as parents need to think outside the box when it comes to food allergies.  Parents of children with food allergies are constantly on alert because so often we aren’t.

If your child has food allergies what would you like parents of children who don’t suffer with allergies to be aware of?
