An essential guide to the practical and emotional journey of bringing up children with food allergies.

The first few days after your child has had an allergic reaction can be a bewildering and frightening time. Although you may be aware that the number of children allergic to food is on the increase, the discovery that your own child is affected can still come as a dreadful shock. Written by Alice Willitts and Deborah Carter, two mothers with first-hand experience, this reassuring book interweaves factual and practical details with stories from other parents of allergic children, leading you through all the challenges you'll face while learning to live with food allergy in the family.

Includes:

  • Coping after your child's first allergic reaction
  • Weaning allergic babies: a new liberated approach
  • Feeding your allergic child: within the family and outside the home
  • Socialising safely: birthday parties, playgrounds, toddler groups, holidays
  • Living positively with food allergy: help your child, siblings and relatives adjust
  • Starting pre-school or school: how to overcome your fears and help your child fit in

What You Say
This has been the single most useful tool in helping me work out how to manage Sam's allergies. It has all the answers you need, more like a friend than a book
Fiona Case, mother

I have found this practical guide invaluable, it should be pounced upon by parents and professionals alike
Rachel Berry, nursery nurse

This is the first book I've ever read that was completely helpful to me as a mother of two severely allergic children. I re-read it regularly, dip in and out of it for advice and to reassure myself that I'm not alone
Sarah Ilan, Stanmore

This is exactly what you need when you've been told your child has a food allergy. It's practical, written from the viewpoint of mothers who've been through it all and have loads of tips to pass on (just the kind of things you normally learn through trial and error, except that with this book you don't have to do that). It's also a comforting book, in that you don't feel so isolated when you've read it. You feel: I can do this! Brilliant.
