Having a child with allergies does not have to negatively affect family mealtime. In fact, it can be a learning experience for all. Depending upon the specific foods that your child is allergic to, it might make sense to make the same food for everyone to enjoy to avoid being a short-order cook. Explore safe and alternative food choices, new recipes and be creative. Consider meeting with a registered dietitian specializing in food allergies to guide you through this process.
