[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you not regularly have fruit, vegetables, cheese, pretzels in your house? Really? That's...interesting. [/quote]

NP.  Did you read the OP's post?  Cheese = dairy.

As the parent of a child with an anaphylactic allergy to eggs, I would prefer someone in OP's situation to either not feed my child at all or ask me ahead of time what foods are safe for her.  Plain fruits and veggies are a great option, provided child is not allergic to them.  But I don't expect anyone else to take responsibility for feeding my children and, particularly for the one with the egg allergy, I don't necessarily trust others to feed her, either.  There's just too much risk there.  She travels everywhere with snacks and an epi pen, just in case.
My DD has known since she was just barely 3yo not to ask for or take food from anyone other than myself, my DH, or her daycare teacher.  It is important to teach children with food allergies to be able to speak up and advocate for themselves early, to keep them safer.  This child should be able to advocate for themselves; that's a key life-saving skill for food allergies.  [/quote]

So anyway, there are plenty of easy snack choices that contain no allergens. It takes two seconds to think of five snack ideas that are dairy free or peanut free or what have you. I see you chose to ignore my suggestions of fruit, etc. What is wrong with fruit or some vegetables as a snack? If they don’t want it, they aren’t hungry.[/quote]
