[quote=Anonymous]People can be allergic to any number of things. Check at your school and classroom level. We have had two classrooms where a child has had severe allergies to any number of things, which meant those classrooms had extra rules. Far as I can tell, the kids don't care and support each other. One of our summer camps extended as far as nothing from a facility that had tree nuts. A family member can have absolutely no exposure to shellfish, which turns out is in a ton of prepackaged food. So again, just check on the local level. As to what you bake, just don't send in baked goods for the entire class and/or check with the teacher if you must send baked goods in with your child's lunch. Usually the teacher will tell you that home baked goods aren't welcomed as snacks or for parties. As to coconuts specifically, they usually aren't included in the tree nut ban, but you should ask because many coconut products are made in facilities with tree nuts. Once you get into the swing of things and once the kids are older, it's much easier. Good luck.[/quote]
