After finding out how severe our sons allergies were we decided to create "safe people" for him. These are people that he can trust to feed him food that is not going to hurt him because they understand what they need to look out for when buying and preparing food for our son. We've decided that my husband, my mother, my father, my brother, and myself are the "safe people". If the food is not from one of us we need to double check it. Of course as a baby he can't ask us yet, however, we still go out to friends' for dinner parties and other occasions. When we do this we always bring with us "safe food" and then check what is being served to check if he can it any thing.
We've also decided that when he is older and can speak that he will have to tell people that until he asks his parents he can not have food "x". If we check it and we approve it he will still not be able to the same food from the same person until we ok it again. Better safe then sorry.
