Question by haleysmom: Avoiding peanut allergies. I was advised to wait until my daughter was 3 before giving her peanuts.?
She is 16 months old and got a hold of some peanuts and ate them. She didn’t have any allergic reaction but I don’t know if I should now give her peanuts regularly or should I wait until she is three before giving her anymore. Does anyone know?

Best answer:

Answer by Amy B
Yes. Wait until she’s 3. Don’t give her peanut butter either. For the same reason.

Question by Ali: 13 year old daughter has an eating disorder?
I have so much on my plate and I can’t deal. Separately, each problem would be hard, but together it’s horrible!

First, my daughter has an eating disorder. Not too serious, but we’re going to nip it in the bud. This won’t be hard to get through. She’s already started eating “safe foods” again like celery, Jell-O, carrots, and peanut butter. Not all at once, but a little here and there,

The next issue is my children’s allergy problems. We have 5 daughters. The oldest (13) is allergic to shellfish. My next (7) is allergic to all types of nuts. Then we have my another (5) who is lactose, however takes daily pills to cure that. Finally, my 17 month old got tested for a dairy and egg allergy. I’m stressing about those results.

Probably the worst is that my friend is dying of cancer. She most likely won’t live 3 more months. She has no living family whatsoever. Even on her husbands side (husband passed away in a car accident). She asked me to raise her 3 children who she will leave behind. Of course, we had to say yes after discussing it with my husband, children, and even my extended family.

I need help, tips, just someone to talk to. Any one have suggestions??
Thank God we discussed this today. She does have life insurance so I will be able to take care of them. Plus she’s leaving money to me (which will go towards the children).

Question by Mrs. Giggles: if my daughter has a peanut allergy should she be on soy formula?
my 8 month old daughter has severe eczema. Doctor had us switch to a soy formula before she was tested for allergies. The test came back as her having a mild allergy to peanuts and eggs. Isn’t soy and peanuts in the same family? Should we swtich her back to a milk formula since the test didn’t come up as being allerigic to milk. I didn’t see any improvments with the eczema after switching from a milk base to soy and its been a few months.
they did a blood test. Im guess they switched the formula to soy because they thought the eczema was being caused by the milk. Hundreds of dollars later on specail lotions and things like that the eczema is still there and i’ve seen no improvment with switching to the soy from the milk.

Answer by Kimberly G
Yes I would switch her back. Soy formula is not optimal, so if it’s not necessary, I wouldn’t use it. Consider a formula with broken-down proteins like Nestle Good Start.

Question by brunomartin64: have a daughter with peanut allergy. is lecithin and soy lecithin the same thing?

Best answer:

Answer by lesanddi
Unless the label states no soy, you must assume the lecithin is from soy products.But no, not all lecithin is soy lecithin. It is just saying where it comes from, Soy.

Good luck, kiddo! Carry an epi-pen
