How Can You Celebrate Food Allergy Awareness Week With an Infant?
As I shared Monday, the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) has a lot of great ideas on their website for celebrating Food Allergy Awareness Week (FAAW). For example, there are fun coloring pages and cute children books that could be shared with preschool or elementary age kids. But what if your child is only 7-months old, like my daughter?

Well, also on FAAN’s website are these nice PAL (Protect A Life) Hero Award certificates that you can use to celebrate someone who has helped protect a child with food allergies. So to celebrate FAAW with my infant daughter, I baked some cookies free of the 8 most common food allergens, and we gave them to her teachers and school principals with the certificates.
I would love to hear how YOU celebrated FAAW?
